I. Social administration

1.1 Social administration

Social assistance represents the set of measures and activities carried out to satisfy the social needs of the person or family, in order to overcome some difficult situations, as well as to prevent social marginalization and exclusion, including the provision of social benefits.
Social benefits are granted in the form of compensations, allowances, allowances, social aid, material and other types.

Who is entitled to social assistance:

children and young people whose health, development and physical, mental or moral integrity are harmed in the environment in which they live;

families with no or low income;
families affected by domestic violence;
people without family, who cannot manage by themselves, who require care and supervision or are unable to cope with socio-medical needs;
families with three or more children;
single-parent families with children;

PRINCIPLES:

Loading...

participation as a volunteer, activity of public interest, unpaid and based on a freely consented decision of the volunteer;
the volunteer's active involvement in community life;
carrying out volunteering with the exclusion of remuneration from the beneficiary of the activity;
the participation of people in voluntary activities, based on equal opportunities and treatment, without discrimination;
voluntary activity does not replace paid work;
the public interest nature of the volunteering activity

Volunteering is voluntary and generally takes place in an organized setting under the auspices of an organization or foundation. The activities through which we offer our resources to those in need are also beneficial for volunteers, as we make friends and socialize with people with similar concerns, develop new skills that will help us in our future careers, and help us feel fulfilled , due to the contribution to the good of the community or of a person.

Volunteer activities provide mental stimulation, increasing self-esteem and the level of satisfaction and contentment; you benefit from all these things when you engage in activities that do good for others and the community.

Volunteering helps you see things from a completely different perspective, which you might not have had access to through other activities. It also facilitates contact with fields that you are passionate about, but in which you have not had the opportunity to be active, or with totally unknown branches that suit you better or you are more passionate about.

II. Personal social services

2.1 Personal social services in Great Britain

There is no clear or coherent category of 'personal social services', which cover both social work and 'social care', services to people which fall outside the remit of health services. In Britain, these departments have developed as a residual category of services not provided by other services.

 The categories include:

mentally ill people
elderly people
offenders
children who are abused, neglected or without support
physically sick and disabled people
people with learning disabilities

After 1948, three departments were responsible for personal social services:

health departments, responsible for public health and various aspects of social care;
welfare departments, responsible for residential care and help to elderly and disabled people;
Children's departments, responsible for child care.

Personalisation is based in the idea that services should be indivdiually tailored to the needs and preferences of the service user. The same principle can found in the Griffiths report
