PUBLIC AND PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES: FEATURES OF THEIR WORK AND INTERACTION

Abstract

In today's Ukrainian socio-economic conditions, the problem of social protection of the population is particularly relevant. An important place in the system of social support and assistance to those who need it is given to social services - state and public. The peculiarities of the work of social services depend on their intended purpose, the sphere of operation and the clients to whom they provide services. In particular, social work with families is a priority task for social service centers for young people involved in the implementation of state, sectoral, and regional programs for social work with children, youth and families. Women's social work is carried out by centers for working with women (state institutions that provide assistance to women who have experienced family violence or have other social problems), centers for homeless women. In recent years, the creation of a system of social adaptation of people who have been released from places of imprisonment has begun in Ukraine. At the legislative level, the idea of creating centers for social adaptation, houses for the night or temporary stay of released persons was supported. Public social services operating in the social sphere of Ukraine are charitable organizations or charitable foundations, credit unions, religious organizations, private organizations. The system of social social services can include both targeted at employees and members of their families social programs of business structures, enterprises, sponsorship and philanthropy. In general, the state is interested in effective cooperation with social social services, since most non-governmental organizations are created to solve the same problems as state agencies deal with (care for the poor, sick, socially disadvantaged citizens, etc.). At the same time, public social services are much more successful and less financially costly than state institutions. Consequently, social services are the main provider of social services; their task is to ensure the availability and quality of basic services in accordance with the needs of the population, to promote the quality of life of people.
