Università Roma Tre

The Social Policy and Social Services Legislation course consists of two modules.

The SOCIAL POLICY module intends to provide the cognitive and conceptual bases that make it possible to frame social policies in their modern historical evolution and to decode the meaning and orientations of the interventions that can be carried out in the field of social protection. At the end of the module the student:
- knows the aims of modern social policies and their historical evolution and is able to place the current guidelines of social protection within the framework of the types of welfare regime;
- is able to appropriately place the sectoral interventions of social protection in the scenario of contemporary social policies;
- has a suitable conceptual and terminological heritage to appropriately discuss the main issues of the social policy.

The SOCIAL SERVICES LEGISLATION module intends to provide an essential framework of the main regulations governing the social services sector, with particular regard to the context of the Lazio Region. At the end of the module the student has learned the normative foundations that regulate the local systems of social services and knows the main laws concerning the social services sector.
In the first part of the course, a historical-theoretical framework of the concepts of social policy and the welfare system is proposed, the main models of which are described. The ways in which social change and the transformation of needs affect the structure of social policies are then discussed and the picture of the actors of the social protection system is presented. The transition from the welfare state to the welfare mix and the concept of local welfare is then illustrated. The policies of the social protection sector are also described (social security, health, assistance and social services) of which a general classification and profile is presented in the Italian context. Finally, the possible future scenarios of social policies in Italy are discussed.
The second part deals with the constitutional bases of the right to social assistance (Article 38 of the Constitution) and the path that between the 1970s and 1990s leads to the administrative decentralization of social assistance functions; the approval of the framework law 328/2000 for the implementation of the integrated system of interventions and social services, the main aspects of which are discussed; the reform carried out with Const. Law 3/2001 and its implications on the territorial system of social services; the development of regional legislation on social services; the system and the main elements of the Lazio regional law 11/2016, with particular reference to the principle for access to services, the definition of the essential levels of performance, the bodies that regulate the functioning and the actors involved in the system; the structure of the Lazio 2017-2019 Regional Social Plan and the contents relating to the essential levels of social benefits. In the final part, the course essentially presents some of the main national sector regulations for the area of ​​minors and families.
