Interdepartmental raids in Vysokogorsky municipal district

Several interdepartmental raids to families at risk registered on social patronage were organized by specialists in social work of the Complex Social Service Centre in cooperation with local authorities in May 2017. The aim of the raids was to go house-to-house and visit senior citizens aged above 70 that live along.

According to specialists of the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Protection of the Republic of Tatarstan, the raids were organized in accordance with the Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan and Ordinance of the Ministry and would last from May to December 2017. All the specialists had certificates of social workers.

What is more, making a home visit to see a client can be an intimidating and even frightening experience for social workers. Yet, in many areas of practice, the majority of client contact is “in the field,” which typically means seeing a client someplace other than your office. Certainly for social workers practicing in the field of public child welfare, visiting clients in their home is the norm, rather than the exception.
