Petr Fanta, Daniela Horáková
Abstract: There is a lot of children in institutional care in the people after they leave institutional care because data on them are not systematically collected. This paper presents the design and methodology of a primary data collection in a research project on factors influencing care leavers. This paper discusses project methodology, the design of data collection and its limits, the availability of data, how non-response bias will be handled, the burdens of data collection streaming from the GDPR, etc. It also reflects the approaches of preliminary researches. The paper presents the methodology of collecting data; provides guidelines for other researchers, and, in the future, the results of the research might provide basis for those who make decisions regarding the system of institutional care.
