Analysis of Awareness, Involvement and Views on Developments in Social Services among the Students of Social and Charity Work of the Theological Faculty in České Budějovice in the years 2012 - 2015

This bachelor thesis is a result of the research, which I conducted for three years among the students of the daily and combined studies at the Faculty of Social and Charity Work of the University of South Bohemia in České Budejovice. The thesis also offers a theoretical account of the issue. Using the expert sources I describe what social work is and what its goals are. I also deal with social workers, principles and values stated not only in the Code of Ethics of Social Workers. I mention the social policy, as well as the principles and laws related to this topic. Then I explain social services together with their types and forms. Finally I address the involvement in social services. I intersperse the theory with the findings of my quantitative research, whose aim was to determine how the students are informed and engaged in the social field and how their views on the developments in social services changed
