Breaking the deadlock
To ensure the quality of social work performance, governments or national professional associations usually employ binding quality standards, codes of ethics, or laws on social work. In Czechia, all previous attempts to establish comprehensive institutional and formal pillars for developing the quality of social work performance have long been in a deadlock, due to their being diluted by lobby groups, opposing interests, or political pressure. Th…

Deinstitutionalization and marketization of eldercare has been delayed by 20 years in the Czech Republic compared to Western Europe, and it takes place in a completely different context, characterized by the legacy of communism, a growing older population, and less generous public subsidies.

The purpose of this study is to report on the position of domiciliary care service within the Czech social services for the elderly and to explore its potential to promote ‘ageing in place’. The aim of th…

This study examines the relationship between clients and social service workers in social service facilities designed for people without shelter. From 2001 to 2008, instrumental case studies were examined from three different shelter facilities using…
The Transition to Adulthood as Experienced by Long-Term Unemployed Graduates of Vocational Programmes in Brno and Surrounding Areas
The aim of this article is to provide insight into the circumstances of long-term unemployed graduates of (mostly) non-GCSE vocational programmes from the perspective of their transition to adulthood. The analytical framework used for this research is life course theory, according to which it is possible to approach the transition from youth to adulthood as a multiple transition. This point corresponds well with reality because young people follo…
