Course content
Here is a polished, professional English translation: Institutional forms of social service provision are currently undergoing a transition from post-Soviet standards and regulations to European ones, which can contribute to the development of the social service delivery system in Ukraine. The main focus of the academic discipline is to present a modern model of the social service delivery system to students, as well as to teach new technologies and approaches to work within various institutional forms in both the public and non-governmental sectors. An important component of institutional forms of social service provision is the distribution of services among different providers. As a result of studying this discipline, students are expected to acquire knowledge about the system of social service provision, its structure and distribution, and its significance for social work clients. The aim of the discipline is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of fundamental organizational and managerial knowledge, as well as technologies in the field of social service provision at both the state and non-state levels, across all key components of its implementation, including within business structures.
