description This paper deals with an evaluation of the process of transformation and deinstitutionalisation of the system of care for vulnerable children in the Czech Republic by the main representatives of the institutional care for children. This is a pressing issue, reflecting a nationwide systemic change. The study includes the results of a qualitative survey conducted at the beginning of 2015, using the technique of in-depth interviews with 8 directors of selected children´s homes. The obtained data were analysed using grounded theory procedures. The research results show that directors are aware of the necessity to transform the system of care, however, they do not approve of several partial steps towards such systemic change. Inadequate preparation of the reform and the changing of rules during the course of the reform were identified as the main deficits.
