Položka Methodological framework of the research on online supervision in Slovakia : 2. chapter(Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft : Baden-Baden, 2026) Brozmanová Gregorová, Alžbeta; Čavojská, KatarínaResearch on online supervision in Slovakia formed part of the VEGA project No. 1/0639/23 entitled Transformations of Supervision in Social Work in the Context of Digitalization. Within the project, the research focused on supervisory practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic period represented a strong impulse for supervisory practice in Slovakia, particularly with regard to its digitalization. Conducting the project after the pandemic made it possible to retrospectively capture situa tional changes conditioned by restrictive measures, which rendered the use of various digital tools a necessity. At the same time, this project design enabled the research to capture practice in the field of online supervision following the end of the crisis period. For the purposes of this research, the key fields of social work services were identified as the area of social and legal protection of children and social guardianship, and the area of social services. A qualitative research strategy was employed, drawing on selected analytical procedures of grounded theory, in particular open coding and constant comparison, without the ambition to generate a fully developed theory. This strategy was based on a comparison of the perspectives of both parties to the supervisory process, namely supervisors and supervisees (social workers). Within this context, the research aim was defined as follows: to describe and analyze the experiences of supervisors and supervisees with the imple mentation of supervision in an online environment. Main research question: What is the impact of digitalization on supervi sion, and what are the specific features of supervision conducted in an online environment from the perspectives of supervisors and supervisees?Položka Limits of online supervision in social work(Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft : Baden-Baden, 2026) Bambúch, FilipIn today's digitized society, online supervision has become an integral part of professional support in social work, offering flexibility and accessibility. However, as noted by Vrťová, Vaska (2022) and Lowe, Speer (2019), it also presents complex challenges affecting its quality and ethics. Key limitations include technical issues like unstable connections (Coker et al., 2002; Gainor, Constantine, 2002) and the loss of personal contact, which impacts non-verbal communication and deeper emotional engagement. Security concerns regarding privacy and data are also significant. Venglářová (2013) highlights that supervision, online or in-person, is a systematic process for professional development, requiring a safe, confidential space for self-reflection. Despite digital challenges, the core principles – promoting growth, enhancing competencies, and ensuring quality feedback – remain essential. This chapter aims to identify and analyze these limitations, proposing strategies to mitigate them and enhance the effectiveness of online supervision in social work. It will cover technological, interpersonal, and ethical dimensions, offering a comprehensive overview of obstacles and solutions.Položka Integration instead of ghettoisation : integrating refugees with the local communities(Abingdon : Routledge, 2025) Brozmanová Gregorová, Alžbeta; Šolcová, JanaIntegration, which refers to migration, is a process in which differences between migrants and the rest of society are eliminated to a certain extent. This process is by no means one-way. On the contrary, it is multidimensional and includes all actors. All local actors can be involved in community protection – refugees, local and state institutions, non-profit and community organisations, and volunteers. Their common goal is to ensure respect for human and refugee rights and refugees’ access to information and services, significantly strengthening their self-sufficiency and independence. The involvement of Ukrainian people already living in the countries is crucial for the integration process. For many people from Ukraine, social networks play a crucial role in getting and keeping in touch with others. The chapter analyses the integration of Ukrainian refugees with local communities, preventing their closure in their milieu and encouraging their participation in the life of local communities. It explores the involvement of local organisations and pre-war migrants in pro-integration and support initiatives. It also focuses on initiatives based on community work as a model for integrating Ukrainian refugees in V4 countries.Položka Organising support for refugees from Ukraine : the role of the state, local governments, and civil society(Abingdon : Routledge, 2025) Brozmanová Gregorová, Alžbeta; Bambúch, FilipCommencement of the unprovoked Russian aggression against Ukraine triggered a huge wave of refugees. Assisting these people in recovering from the psychological trauma, rebuilding their self-confidence, and integrating into the economic and labour activities of their new host countries poses a significant challenge. V4 countries, as a part of EU member states, are putting forth considerable efforts to support these refugees. They now host around a quarter of all Ukrainians who have fled their country following the Russian invasion. Nevertheless, integrating Ukrainian refugees is intricate and demands substantial resources. Initially, in the early stages of the conflict, V4 countries extended various forms of assistance to Ukrainians, driven by a moral obligation to aid a nation defending shared values and its freedom, without considering economic factors. However, as the number of refugees grew, countries began encountering challenges in accommodating and integrating them and are now seeking a balanced approach. The chapter contains an analysis of the structure of the support system for people coming from Ukraine in V4 countries, including the scope of actions taken by the government administration, involvement of local governments, and civil society in support initiatives.
