The purpose of the article is to draw attention to the challenges and threats faced by social assistance institutions in the face of the second month of the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland, with particular emphasis on disturbing phenomena and behaviours involving employees of these institutions. The text, on the one hand, supported by examples derived from personal experiences and reports of the social workers themselves, on the other, by the author's observations and reflections, can serve as a warning against hasty, chaotic actions undermining the morale and reputation of the social assistance system. In the current particularly difficult time for all, it should pass the test in responsible management, coherent cooperation, developing effective solutions and missionary character – serving the ones in need.

This article presents the role of this strategy in the process of reducing social problems: unemployment, poverty, homelessness, addictions, problems of the elderly and disabled, orphans, etc. It indicates the role of social participation in the process of developing the strategy and implementing its objectives. The cooperation of local authorities, social assistance units, NGOs and many other institutions remains a basic condition for the effective implementation of the strategy.

Il lavoro si pone l’obiettivo di analizzare il tema dell’assetto organizzativo e delle problematiche etiche e medico-legali delle cure palliative in Italia facendo riferimento, in particolare, alla legge 38/2010, punto di partenza per riflessioni critiche circa gli interventi “assistenziali” previsti dalla stessa e circa il significato da attribuire, in una visione integrata e globale, al termine “Assistenza”. Gli Autori propongono infine alcune riflessioni circa l’adeguatezza, in tale ottica, dell’attuale sistema dell’assistenza sociale in Italia. ---------- The aim of the present article is to analyze the organizational structure, the ethical and medico-legal aspects of palliative care in Italy. In particular, it refers to the law 38/2010, which represents the starting point for critical thinking about “assistive” intervention promoted by the Act and about the meaning attributable to the word “assistance” in an integrated and comprehensive vision. Finally, the Authors propose some reflections on the adequacy, in this context, of the current social assistance system in Italy.

Budget Expenditure

Most developed countries in the world strive to provide their citizens with adequate living conditions and ensure a high level of social security. This security system also includes social assistance, which is the last level of state policy in supporting its citizens who find themselves in a difficult life situation. Apart from fulfilling a protective role, the social welfare system also plays a stabilizing role in the socio-economic policy of the state. Problems related to the social system and financial resources allocated to their functioning from the state budget are the subject of many scientific publications around the world. Meanwhile, in Poland, there are few scientific publications on the effectiveness and financing of expenditure for social purposes, including the social assistance system. Identifying the level of financial resources allocated to the social assistance system may be the first step to rationalizing the system of financial transfers from the state budget. The article aims is to identify the level of budgetary expenditure allocated in Poland in 2015-2018 to the social assistance system. The analyzes carried out indicate that in the period 2015-2018, budget expenditure on the social assistance system and supporting families increased. In 2018, these expenses accounted for as much as 12.7% of the total state budget expenditure. There is a noticeable tendency consisting of reducing financial resources allocated to social assistance while increasing budgetary transfers directed to families with children - government's "Family 500+" program.
