Actual Problems of Social Care in the Czech Republic
Original language description
The aim of this paper is to shed some light on actual problems of social care in the Czech Republic with special reference to substitute child care. Current practice of giving preference to institutional care in the event of the breakdown of the original family is changing. Between the years 2005–2016 the number of children in institutional facilities for the youngest children has decreased by 30%, and a similar trend may be observed in older children assigned to institutional or protective care. In contrast, the number of children in foster care has increased by 2 and a half times since 2004. In 2016 40% more children lived in all forms of formal family substitute care compared to 2009. The problem remains the fragmented nature of legislation among the various ministries and the inadequate support of families in danger of social exclusion. A disproportionate number of children continue to be placed in substitute care due to non-existent public housing and inadequate networks of outpatient, field, and support services.
