Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students will have the basic elements for understanding the organization and networking of social and health local services as well as the operation logic in relation to the aims in the provision of services to people.
Course contents
In the first part of the course the history of social
intervention in Italy will be introduced, from the
charities to the rise and crisis of welfare state.
The major social policy reforms will be outlined until the
approval of the national law 328/2000 and the amendments to the
title V of Part II of the Italian Constitution.
Subsequently, the new system of governance of the
Emilia-Romagna provided by Health and Social Plan 2017-2019 will be
considered, together with the organization of the network of
social and health services.
We will be outlined the main aspects of a service identification and the financing of the same funds. The first part will end with a multicultural look at the socio-healthy services in a multicultural context: equality of access, the use and quality of services, with particular reference to intercultural communication in the relationship between professionals and citizens.
In the second part the functions and organizational
structure of Territorial Social Service in different
institutional contexts will be considered, with particular
reference to the issues of taking charge, case management and
the socio-health integration at institutional,
organizational and professional level.
In the third part three specific areas will be explored with
their theoretical paradigms, methods and operational
tools:
1. organization of services and networking: empowerment of citizens
and community social work to promote community health, quality and
social cohesion;
2. organization of services and multicultural context: equity of
access, use and quality of services with particular reference to
intercultural communication in the relationship between
professionals and citizens;
3. organization and accreditation of health and social services for
the elderly and disabled people in Emilia-Romagna: paths to improve
the quality in the case of Bologna USL service.
