Today we are faced with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which directly or indirectly has affected all countries and regions of the world. The state policy of all countries is aimed at containing the spread of the virus and meeting the basic needs of people in forced isolation. This situation has once again proved the importance of the institution of social protection of population (hereinafter—ISPP) and the need to ensure the efficiency of its functioning. The high growth rates of social changes, in turn, cause a certain lagging behind the process of their scientific comprehension — piling up issues unresolved by means of sociological science. Thus, the current system for assessing the ISPP functioning in terms of the actually obtained result against the normative/planned one, as well as the system for estimating economic costs, do not meet the challenges that modern science and management face. Many problems related to assessment of the ISPP functioning remain unresolved. In particular, the entire range of difficulties faced by consumers of social services has not been fully disclosed; the issues of achieving a consistently high satisfaction of vulnerable population groups with various quantitative and qualitative parameters of service provision are acute. The article discusses the scientific concepts and approaches to assessing effectiveness of the social protection of population used in domestic and foreign social science and practice. It outlines the authors' model for assessing effectiveness of the ISPP functioning on the example of the Republic of Tatarstan, which is based on an integrated approach that consists in fixing the temporal and spatial aspects of assessing effectiveness of the ISPP functioning.

The article presents the results of a study of the possibilities of the social protection system to improve the quality of life of substitute families in the Republic of Mordovia. The authors conclude that a substitute family is not a legally defined term for any type of family that accepts a child (children) left without parental care. Social protection of a substitute family is a system of support provided by providing a set of social services to the family in order to preserve and strengthen the social, psychological and physical health of members of the foster family and prevent secondary abandonment of the child. Professional formation and support of substitute families is one of the most important stages in the work of specialists working with a child placed in a family and members of this family. The results of the research presented in the article suggest that in General, substitute parents in the Republic of Mordovia are satisfied with the socio-psychological and socio-legal knowledge obtained during the preparation and decision-making on the creation of a substitute family. Adaptation and upbringing of a foster child, the features of children who have a traumatic experience of breaking up with their biological parents and the features of their development in adolescence – are the topics that were most significant for the substitute parents. The authors observed that adoptive families are heterogeneous both in terms of social well-being in General, and by the presence and intensity of elements, and therefore family policies should focus not only on the institution of foster families in General, but to be differentiated in relation to different groups. The results obtained provide a scientific basis for such a differentiated policy, which corresponds to the principle of targeting, widely declared in social policy and social work.

Social services offered and provided to children at risk are tailored to the individual needs of children and are divided into six groups, namely: information and counseling services, professional help and support services, counseling services, home care services, community services and out-of-home services for protection. The objective of this paper is to look at the social protection system and its role and efficiency in providing social services to children at risk and the necessary changes. The method of work is the analysis of the content of the reports of the Center for Social Work and partner organizations. The analysis of the engagement of the Center for Social Work in working with children at risk shows that intensive work is being done on the development of new social services in the last 5 years, especially with the adoption of the new Law on Social Protection (Official Gazette of RNM No.104/2019). The development of the social protection system is achieved through a plural system and the integration of innovations in the engagement of licensed and authorized social service providers. Decentralization of the social protection system is being established, which responds to local challenges, reduces poverty and increases the social inclusion of children at risk. Work is being done on creating and strengthening the capacity and resources of the social protection system through education and strengthening staff with specific knowledge and skills for working with children and their integration into the local environment. Continuous work is being done on the development of multisectoral work with the use of available resources in solving complex social risks. The adopted standards in the provision of social services are being implemented, continuous monitoring and evaluation are being carried out, which give a realistic picture of the delivered social services. The new integrated system in the provision of social services enables access to quality and more inclusive social services that provide positive changes for children at risk.

Legal Nature

We raise the topic of the social services current system, the place and importance of nonprofit organizations in it. It is noted that the tendency of social services nonprofit sector transfer to the population with the subsequent reimbursement of expenses from the budget. We analyze various barriers of nonprofit organizations participation in the social services provision in the context of which it is proposed to provide an advance mechanism for reimbursement of nonprofit organizations for the social services provision. The importance of the social services standard is emphasized, its content is revealed and an attempt is made to reveal the legal nature of the standard of social services. We note the content of the standard established by the federal legislation; also we draw attention to the fact that the procedure approval for the social services provision by social service providers is attributed to the powers of public authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation. We present the analysis of the social services provision standard in the Tambov Region by forms of social services approved by the order of Social Protection and Family Policy Department of the Tambov Region dated April 1, 2016 no. 463-ф. The points requiring adjustment from the point of view of legal technique are revealed, and also other offers on modification of the specified regulatory legal act are specified. As a result, we conclude that the social services standard, firstly, expresses the amount of social assistance guaranteed by the state, secondly, it is an exhaustive set of requirements for the service itself, allowing to plan activities and resources, and, thirdly, it is a set of requirements for quality control of social services and protection of the rights and legitimate interests of their recipients.
