Summary/Abstract: The court guardianship for minors and adults, shaped in the course of numerous changes, is nowadays one of the key elements of the resocialising education system. The Board of Trustees perfectly combines institutions and specializations that have functioned in isolation from each other for decades. Court superintendents carry out tasks defi ned by law, which are related to the execution of court decisions. A distinction is made between professional and social curators. Curatorial teams are located at penal, family and youth departments. The court superintendent for adults is subject to criminal law procedure, while the family superintendent is subject to civil law procedure. A systemic approach to the problem requires a comprehensive approach, taking into account not only the individual, but also the surrounding systems, including in particular family and local systems. Currently, the cooperation of curators with representatives of various services is clearly visible, which translates positively not only into the functioning of the wards, but also of the entire local community.
