Where do we work?

Introducing of the topic Discuss ways to make social services more visible and understandable for the public, service users, potential staff members, students and public authorities. Present initiatives to raise awareness, the challenges associated to their implementation and their impact. Discuss how diaconal actors can work towards common initiatives aimed at emphasising the key importance of social services in our societies.

Challenges in the Czech Republic (only)? Social services do not belong to the most attractive sectors– Why? Status of the profession in the society Lack of young people who would like to study social work or stay in the sector Lower level of unemployment – lack of people who would like to work in social services New ways of attracting people – no more waiting, but acting Lower salaries comparing to other professions

Challenges II What could be helpful ? Limited financial sources and dependency on public funding which is purpose based High level of fluctuation – investing in people who leave for better jobs Identity of the organization High claims for social workers skills What could be helpful ?
