Common use of Setting and availability Clause in Contracts

Setting and availability. of social services does not match the needs of the target groups The threat to the groups at risk of social exclusion and poverty is also exacerbated by a shortage of some types of social services (low-threshold, outreach and outpatient) and social and prevention programmes (integration activities for persons released from prison or serving an alternative sentence, services for families and children, psychological counsellors for the vulnerable groups, preventive activities for persons at high risk of crime, etc.). This is related to the high rate of use of institutional care in addressing the problems of vulnerable children and families, and the insufficient measures for reconciling the work and family life. The fundamental problem lies also in ensuring the quality, availability, throughput and comprehensiveness of the social services system and their interaction with other services, particularly in the areas of employment, health care and housing. The weakness of the social services lies also in the under-performed inspection of the quality of social services, and the absence of quality standards in the follow-up services. Also the education and professional competence of social workers are often not sufficient. In the Czech Republic, there are also territories and regions with insufficient coverage of a network of social services that would reflect and respond to the demand.
