Social services for the population as one of the components of social support for the population is the direction of the activities of social services in the field of social support, in the provision of social, social, medical, psychological and pedagogical, as well as other types of services, in the implementation of social adaptation and rehabilitation of citizens in difficult life situation.

Financial support for the activities of social service organizations under the jurisdiction of federal executive authorities, state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is carried out at the expense of the corresponding budget, as well as at the expense of recipients of social services when providing social services for a fee (partial payment).

The law presupposes the implementation of interdepartmental interaction in the provision of social services on the basis of regulations approved by the state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The effective functioning of the social service system is ensured through control (supervision) in the field of social services, including public control.

1. The subject of regulation is, as a rule, relations arising from the achievement of goals in specific area activities, i.e. in fact, the subject of regulation is legal relations, united by certain features, allowing them to be distinguished into a separate group. The commented one regulates the legal relationship arising from the provision of social services.

The commented one acts as the main source of legal regulation of relations in the field of social services, it is he who establishes the foundations of state policy in the field of social services. The legislator will identify three components of such a policy: legal, organizational and economic.

The legal framework is a set of legal norms governing the main issues in the field of social services. The task of the commentator is to establish the basic legal "brackets", to create a legal foundation for building a system of social services. The concretization of legal norms is assigned to the subordinate normative legal acts and regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

1) establishes the basic concepts used for legal regulation, and the principles on which such regulation and the entire system of social services as a whole are based;

Organizational framework social service is, first of all, the establishment of the procedure for the provision of social services. The commented person defines the circle of persons who can act as providers of social services, and also gives the criteria by which citizens can be classified as "recipient of social services". The procedure for the provision of social services is established, incl. the rules for applying for the provision of such services. It is through the establishment of the circle of persons that can be social service organizations, the definition of their legal status, the foundations for exercising control over the activities of such persons, as well as requirements for the provision of social services, and the organizational role of the commented Law in the field of social services is carried out.

In accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, issues of social services are under the joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in subjects joint management RF and the constituent entities of the RF federal laws are issued and laws adopted in accordance with them and other normative legal acts of the constituent entities of the RF. Such a two-tier system of legal regulation requires consistency, a clear delineation of powers between the subjects of the Russian Federation and federal center... The commented Law is called upon to carry out such a division of powers, which establishes a list of powers of federal bodies of state power, incl. a special authorized executive body (Ministry of Labor of Russia), and a list of powers of state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The list of powers is established on the basis of law enforcement practice, expediency, and in order to create an effective system of social services. The lists of the designated powers are open and can be supplemented if necessary.

The organization of the social service system is impossible without establishing the legal status of the main participants in the system - the providers and recipients of social services. The one commented on in the relevant chapters establishes the rights and obligations of the aforementioned persons. Among the features of the commented Law, one can single out the requirement for information transparency of the provider of social services, which is obliged to provide publicly available information about its activities. This obligation of the provider corresponds to the right of the recipient of social services to gain access to such information. Information transparency of the provider of social services is one of the guaranteeing elements of the organization of independent public control over the quality of the provision of social services.

The new law gives the green light and opens up tremendous opportunities for social entrepreneurship... The previous law, passed in 1995, determined that government services social services should be provided by state and municipal authorities. From 2015, the state will only set social standards and finance the provision of such services. The orders for social services themselves will be distributed on a competitive basis, their suppliers can be commercial and non-profit organizations and individual entrepreneurs. If now you open a social service center and put it into operation, already from next year you will be able to participate in government procurement of these services.
