JIRÁSKOVÁ, Aneta
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of foster family care from the perspective of foster parents and the accompanying worker. The aim of the thesis was to find out what are the positives and negatives of cooperation between foster parents and accompanying organizations and to describe the experience of cooperation between accompanying workers and foster parents. The bachelor thesis has two parts. The theoretical part explains the basic concepts related to foster family care and its forms with emphasis on foster care. Family, its functions and types of families are defined, the concept of attachment, social and legal protection of children is explained. A relatively large space is devoted to foster care, its types and the process of mediation of FC. The last chapter covers the accompanying organisations for foster families, accompanying workers and the services provided by each organisation. In the practical part, qualitative research was conducted, using a semi-structured interview technique with foster parents and accompanying workers. Subsequently, the interviews are processed according to each communication partner. The research shows that the cooperation of foster parents with the AO is evaluated positively, a big role is played by the person of the accompanying worker, especially his personal qualities, the way of working and the overall approach and treatment with the family, because it is, together with the services provided, a decisive factor for the selection of the AO. In the conclusion of the thesis my main findings and the results I have achieved are summarized. I think that this thesis could be considered as a useful resource or information material that could serve future foster carers, accompanying workers as well as students in the field of social work. It could also be beneficial in improving awareness of foster care and accompanying organisations.

The practical part focuses on researching the cooperation of department of social and legal protection of children and of the Police of the Czech Republic in the South Bohemian Region. For the purpose of achieving the goal, a qualitative research method of semi-structured interviews was chosen. Two research samples were selected, the first consisting of workers from the department of social and legal protection of children, and the second consisting of members of the Police of the Czech Republic. The data collected was analyzed using open coding and then compared. The research results were organized into areas and then recorded in tables. The research results indicate that the cooperation of department of social and legal protection of children and of the Police of the Czech Republic is specific in itself, as these two components of the state apparatus have their own specific roles, powers, and competences, but they share a common goal - to protect children and ensure their safety and healthy development. These entities cooperate in every event in which a child is involved as a victim, perpetrator, or witness of an offense or crime. The extent of cooperation depends primarily on the approach of individual workers who collaborate with each other.

Pěstounská péče prarodičů z pohledu zaměstnanců orgánu sociálně-právní ochrany dětí
VLČKOVÁ, Dominika
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of foster care performed by grandparents. Foster care is a form of substitute family care in which the foster parent personally takes care of the child and is responsible for his / her upbringing. An individual, spouse or partner who meets the conditions stipulated by law can become a foster parent. They are often the child's grandparents. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to map the opinions of employees of the social and legal protection of children on foster care of grandparents with a focus on the benefits and risks of this foster care. Qualitative research, the method of questioning and the technique of semi-structured interview have been used to achieve the set goal. Interviews were conducted with substitute family care staff at the Department of Social and Legal Protection of Children at municipal authorities, the regional authority in the selected region and the municipality of the selected city. The obtained data have been processed by the method of clustering. The results have shown that, despite the disadvantages of grandparents' foster care, surrogate family care workers have a positive subjective feeling about this form of care. The great advantage, compared to the mediated foster parent, is the family and emotional bond between the grandparent and the child. The child usually knows the grandparent from an early age and is used to the environment where the grandparent lives. This bachelor thesis can be beneficial for social workers working with the family, because it also points to the negative aspects that grandparents' foster care brings. At the same time, it highlights the benefits of this type of foster care.
