Sosiaalipäätös

Sosiaalipäätös refers to a decision made within the social welfare system. These decisions can cover a wide range of services and benefits, including but not limited to child protection, elderly care, disability services, and social assistance. The process typically involves an assessment of an individual's or family's needs and circumstances by a social worker or other authorized professional.

Based on this assessment, a social worker proposes a course of action, which is then formalized as a social decision. This decision outlines the specific services, support, or benefits to be provided, or it may deny a request for services. The aim of a social decision is to promote the well-being and social security of individuals and families, ensuring they receive appropriate support according to legislation and available resources.

Individuals have the right to be informed about the grounds for a social decision and to receive it in writing. If an individual disagrees with a social decision, they usually have the right to appeal or request a review of the decision through established administrative processes. The legislation governing social welfare services dictates the procedures for making and appealing social decisions.
