Etical aspects of judicial supervision as a reason for child's removal from his family
KOPECKÁ, Markéta
The thesis deals with the issue of supervision over the upbringing of minors within the framework of social-legal protection of children. It is divided into three parts. The first part is legal, it deals with the description of the issue and explanation of the current system and the space that is defined for individual evaluation of situations and decision-making of social workers. The second part looks at selected ethical theories, each with a different perception of the good to be sought. They also offer different perspectives on the issue. The third part of the thesis asks specific questions that arose in the first part of the thesis and seeks answers through the lens of each of the theories described in the second part. On the basis of the clash between these two levels and the clash between rationality and emotions, different lines of opinion and insights emerge, which can open a discussion on topics that are not common in the Czech legal environment. The current system does not adapt in the field of supervision and the starting points that ethics offers bring new possibilities for solutions.

The theoretical support of the thesis are scientific literary sources, especially from the work of the philosopher Hans Jonas. Furthermore, the author presents her own definition of the precautionary principle for the social area and its possible application to action in the non-profit organization Polovina nebe, which provides social services. It is based on empirical experience and a survey among clients of social services and suggests addressing shortcomings. It recommends regulating the precautionary principle by law for social services so that the principle is aimed at protecting the quality of life of individuals and life itself.

Ethics of Social Work from the Students´ and Helping Professions Workers´ Point of View
SEDLÁČKOVÁ, Marie
This study deals with ethics od social work. In the theoretical part, introduction to the issue is outlined and concepts which are often discussed in relation with ethics in social work such as the values and dilemmas of social work are also analyzed here. These findings are compared from printed and electronic resources of Czech and foreign authors who pursue this topic. The aim of this study was to ascertain if students of social work and workers in helping professions consider ethic as important and how these opinions are affected by the practice of social workers. The results of qualitative research were processed by coding. Most of the work is empirical, individual areas of ethics in social work are examined in interviews with thirteen informants in this part. Processed results show to which characteristics and skills the questined informants attribute more importance, which areas they consider to be dilemmatic and which methods help them in solving these dilemmas. Results also shows opinions of the interviewed respondents on the Social Worker's Code of Ethics of the Czech Republic, on ethically important areas, and especially on the teaching of ethics in social work which nowadays is not properly emphasized. After my research I believe that teaching of ethics should be a part of professional training because it is an integral part of the daily practice of social workers. Content of lectures such as ethical standards or codes is as important as are the ways in which these problems are introduced to students.

The thesis deals with coaching as social work tool and with its ethical aspects in relationship to individual. It is divided into three parts. In the first part, I define the coaching itself, as well as its solution and its types. I also distinguish the coaching from different types of social work, such as counselling and therapy; then I set the coaching into social work helping scope. The second part is focused on the relationship between the client and the helping worker while using coaching. Here I present the relationship paradigms, the helping worker aspect (with emphasis on competence and personal disposition) and the client aspect (with focus on his conception and his inner world). This part deals with the topic of help and control as well. In the third part I look into ethical aspects that are crucial in the client's and worker's relationship, aspects that follow from the definition of this relationship from the second part of the thesis, such as freedom, dignity, respect, autonomy, self-determination, worker's personality, preferences, responsibility, conscience and power.

Philosophical and Theological Concept of Value with Respect to Ethics in Social Work
MACHULOVÁ, Helena
This diploma work is focused on the concept of value in social work. First I analyzed both Czech and foreign literature dealing with ethics of social work. Having found no satisfactory definition of value in that actual literature, I tried to clarify it. In the 3rd chapter the theories of value of main proponents of axiology and their predecessors are discussed. The concept of value of Dietrich von Hildebrand is discussed in detail, because it is the best theory for the purpose of the ethics of social work according to my opinion that is explained in the chapter 4.1. From this point of view I commented values that can be found in the Code of the social workers. In the last chapter I try to suggest the theological approach in the value discussion on several biblical texts and their interpretations that can be used in practical Bible work with people in social or pastoral work.
