I just went to work after the National Day this week and did two things of the same nature. On the 9th, I received dozens of Foshan Women's Federation workers in Xiaolan New Town Community, who came to inspect the service mode of community workers and professional social workers in the new town community over the past year. On June 5438+02, I gave a lecture to more than 50 community workers in Shunde/KLOC-0, analyzing the relationship and cooperation between administrative social workers and professional social workers, which was the second issue since last year.
In fact, this topic has been affecting everyone's thinking since the pilot of professional social work in 2008. In the past decades, China has been using administrative means, the government or state-owned and collective enterprises, as well as rural collective economic units to perform their service functions. But the reform of economic system has changed this pattern, and many welfare affairs involving individuals have changed from? Unit? After the liberalization, the government retained the welfare social security such as social assistance, which started with social insurance in the 1990s, and started the mode of sharing responsibility between society and individuals. In this way, public services undertaken by the government and social services undertaken by society and individuals began to exist. Then, the government began the reform of social service management system, and put forward? Small government, big society? The idea that the government's transfer function began to start and the pluralistic social governance model began to take shape has made social organizations flourish and become a society in which the government and enterprises co-govern? Troika? Administrative services undertaken by the government, public services and social services undertaken by social organizations are intertwined.
In the prosperity and development of social organizations, a? Professional social work? Social service institutions with core competitiveness (commonly known as social work institutions or social work organizations) have become the main force, especially in the field of civil affairs, providing spiritual comfort, resource linking, ability improvement, relationship adjustment, social integration and other services for urban and rural low-income objects, extremely poor people, children in distress, rural left-behind people, special care and resettlement objects and elderly groups; Providing corrective services in the fields of justice and public safety; In the field of education, provide development services and so on.
As a new social service organization. Social worker? As a new type of occupation, it is basically the same as the service undertaken by the government in practice. There are overlaps in service content and service resource utilization. Therefore, both the government and social service organizations hope to further clarify their functions and put? Transfer function? Stripping, clear overlapping division of labor and cooperation.
At present, the government has been promoting the application of professional social work in the field of public services. Judging from the current practice in various places, there are two common situations, one is internal adjustment of the government, and the other is cooperation with professional social work institutions. The former, at present, there are roughly three ways, one is to directly set up professional and technical posts for social work, the other is to increase the service content of professional social work, and the third is to apply the concepts and methods of professional social work to existing service posts. The latter is to establish a partnership with professional social work institutions through public bidding, entrustment, public welfare venture capital, etc., or transfer or entrust matters, or implement financial support, or develop and cultivate. The latter way has innovated many service carriers, that is, it has established many comprehensive service platforms different from traditional social service facilities such as nursing homes, nursing homes and welfare homes, such as the comprehensive family service centers in towns and streets in Guangzhou, which directly serve the masses, and the profit-making centers in towns and streets in Nanhai District of Foshan, which have direct services and indirect services (with the functions of policy research, understanding people's feelings and cultivating social organizations), and some of them are as complete as Zhongshan City? Three-level system? Yes, it's the municipal level? China Social Innovation (Zhongshan) Base? , established at the township level? National public welfare park? And social worker comprehensive service center, home care service center, etc. , and xiaolan town have established 15 community? Community public service center? .
Administrative social work and professional social work, whether from their respective subjects (government, social organizations) or from the application of methods and technologies, should be done scientifically according to the stages and levels of economic and social development in different regions? Integral? With what? Close? Division of labor, cooperation and integration are extremely needed.
