Sociálna pedagogika a sociálna politika a systém sociálnej starostlivosti a pomoci

This article discusses the relationship between social pedagogy, social policy and the system of social care and assistance. The concept of “social care and assistance” can be understood very broadly. This is not just about direct help and care in the form of social work, social care homes, etc., but about all forms of support provided by the state, starting with different types of activation in the problem of poverty and marginalization, through addressing the problems associated with addictions, organizing help for sick or elderly people. It would not be right to restrict this system to social assistance alone. The so-called social care system is an area of practical activity that is geared towards inducing certain social changes.
