Summary/Abstract: For children who cannot grow up in a biological family, there are institutional care entities. The aim of this study is to provide readers with characteristics of individual subjects in the Czech Republic with a focus on positive and negative characteristics. The Mongan-Rallis approach (2006) was chosen for the review study. The Czech Republic is a country with a system of care with high-quality social and legal protection for children and adolescents, with a sufficiently developed network of possibilities to secure a child in need. The main benefit of the paper is a comprehensive description of individual devices, which is in literature.
