A collaborative partnership between a school social worker and a family
ČECHUROVÁ, Lucie
The bachelor thesis examines the theme of a school social worker and the possible scope of his collaboration with pupils and their families. I approach the relevant models of school social work derived from ecological perspective and focused not only on the development of a school but also on the linkage as regards the cooperation between the given school, community and family. I explore the way this collaboration is beneficial when solving problems and difficulties of pupils which they encounter at school and in terms of their motivation to study. The bachelor thesis also identifies possible strategies how a school social worker can effectively use methods and approaches related to a specific family-oriented social work when working with pupils and their families.

VISTOŘÍN, Jakub
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to identify the limits of social work at the authority for social and legal protection of children followed up by description of various ways of coping up with these limitations. In order to achieve my set goal, I have made five interviews with people that work at the authority for social and legal protection of children. In terms of anonymity I decided to not state the place where I have made those interviews. Even though these social workers have methodology and are limited by legislation, there is a lot of ways to solve and cope with the limits, which are identified by the research part of this bachelor thesis. Income of this whole thesis can be getting whole new point of view or realizing that there are other options that can be brought to bear. This mentioned income could be proved useful either for informants that I made interviews with or any other professional in the same branch. On top of that I think that it can be even more interesting, seeing different approach from different department and potentially adjust the needed matter. Another fact, that is proving the option to help people, which are in this branch is the fact that I don't rely on numbers or statistics but human side of this job, on foundation which I have gotten by interview with a person that does the job same as a professional that can use this thesis to his advantage.

ARNOŠTOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis deals with a case conference, which is one of the tools of social work with the family. The aim of the work is to find out how social workers in region of Jindřichův Hradec use this method and if they perceive it as an effective tool of their work. The theoretical part of the work is based on the study of professional literature related to the topic. It is focused on definition of terms such as social work with the family, social and legal protection of children, the role of a social worker and a case conference. Topics such as family, family functions, non-functional family or social work are explained here. The practical part of the bachelor thesis deals with the evaluation of research questions through a qualitative research strategy. The necessary data were gained through interviews with social workers who have personal experience with the implementation of the case conference. I categorized the gained material by the method of open coding and subsequently I analysed it. On the basis of these steps, it was possible to evaluate the goal of the bachelor's thesis and make a conclusion. From the results of the research, it can be concluded that case conferences are widely used by social workers, as it is a method that they consider very beneficial and effective. Thanks to this method, the work with the family has become faster and more coordinated. We can see the successes that social workers record after its implementation. The gained results could be used in praxis as a base for a deeper contemplation on the topic or they can become an inspiration for social workers who work with this method.

HÁJÍČKOVÁ, Andrea
This diploma thesis is focused on the issue of parental competence in vulnerable families. It offers an insight into social work with families where biological, psychological or social development of children can be threatened. Parental competence is related to fulfilling functions of family and satisfaction of needs of all family members. The aim of this work is to describe how social workers support and develop parental competence when working with vulnerable families and children. In accordance with the aim of the work, the author defined two research questions which focus on how social workers approach and influence parental competence of their clients. In her research, the author used qualitative approach which provided deeper understanding of social workers' intervention in vulnerable families. The research involved survey and semi-controlled interviews. To assessed the collected data, the method of data classification was used. The analysis of the obtained data has shown that it is essential to develop principals of family support which are reflected in the relationship between social workers and families. Only then support can be provided. Social workers should strive to build trust, approach families with respect, empathy, authenticity, without prejudice and in certain cases with sufficient authority. In their interactions with families, social workers should act as partners, motivate clients towards change and promote interdisciplinary collaboration. To develop and support parental competence, it is important to create a support system and define desired patterns of collaboration. Social workers should provide not only information but also support, help, and alternative perspective on the situation to empower their clients. That can be achieved by accompanying families, providing practical training, mediating contact with social environment, providing professional assistance etc. This should be done so that client's will to learn and change their behaviour leads to successful acquisition of parental competence. Findings of this work can serve as a feedback for social workers.
