The assurance of personal stability in accompanying organizations (in non-profit substitute family care organizations)
Rubešová, Lenka ; Vrzáček, Petr (advisor) ; Procházková, Martina (referee)
Substitute family care is a frequently mentioned topic in the Czech Republic, especially in connection with the high number of children placed in institutional facilities. Foster care, as a one of the forms of substitute family care, was registered within the amendment to the Act on Social and Legal Protection of Children No. 359/1999 Coll. It was in January 2013 and a new concept of support and definition of foster parents' rights and obligations was defined. One of these obligations is to conclude a foster care agreement either with the municipal authority of the municipality with extended powers or with a non-governmental non-profit organization which is entrusted with the exercise of social and legal protection of children and with foster care agreements. This diploma thesis focuses on the personnel activities of non-governmental non-profit organizations that accompany foster families and on the key accompanying workers themselves as well. The theoretical part defines an area of social and legal protection of children, the system of substitute family care, the activities of non-governmental non-profit organizations and personnel processes in the organization.

Joint physical custody after divorce and its influence on members of family
RUBEŠOVÁ, Lenka
My thesis deals with the issue of educational environment of minor children after their parents´ divorce. I focused on joint physical custody, which means that each of the parents shall have significant periods of physical custody, i.e. more or less continuing contact with children. Legal institution of joint physical custody was introduced to the legal practice in the Czech Republic in 1998, when the amendment of the Family Act was adopted. Unfortunately, joint physical custody is not often used in practice and experts do not even share the same opinion of this phenomenon. If joint physical custody is chosen as educational environment for minors, big claims are posed both on parents and their children. The objective of my work was to find out, how joint physical custody works in concrete families with minors at the age of 6 to15, and whether parents and children are satisfied with this family arrangement. Partial objectives were to find out what are the most frequently used periods of physical custody {--} how many days the minor lives with one parent before he/she leaves to live with the other one; whether such family arrangement influences minors´ school attendance and quality of communication within the family. A qualitative research, the polling method and the technique of a half-standardized interview have been applied. In the framework of the research, interviews with parents and their children in five families with joint physical custody were carried out.The results showed, that the arrangement of joint physical custody has been working in these families for several years and that the polled family members are mostly satisfied. Most frequently used period of living with one of the parents is a one week period, and Friday is usually the day of moving from one parent to the other. If parents are able to cooperate and communicate well with each other, there is not even a problem with school attendance. All members of the families agreed that they are able to communicate well with each other.The results of my thesis might be used by counselling services that are provided for divorcing couples and all the facts and information about experience with joint physical custody might help to those parents who consider such family arrangement.
