The aim of the project is to modernise the social sector and meet the latest professional, technological, research/scientific and administrative conditions in order to ensure efficient public tasks and better access to public services. Professional tools, techniques and technologies that can be designed, implemented or facilitated centrally to carry out the statutory tasks of the social and child welfare and child protection sectors, and innovations should be made available to industry, including users and the public, in such a way as to minimise the cost (and over time) of transferring knowledge and information in terms of use. The social impact of this is that, through efficient and qualitative tasks, on the one hand, the efficiency of targeting and, on the other hand, the quality of service or intervention, it is possible to reallocate resources and capacities to the areas and target groups identified as the centre of gravity. On the other hand, the provision of local, territorial tasks can take another step from the institution’s — and service-oriented approach to the implementation of the principle of client-centredness and cooperation undertaken to this end. Project milestones: 1. Modernising professional support systems and making them more efficient in order to develop central functions to support the effectiveness of the new EFOP standard tender projects, in order to support the daily professional work of professionals and institution leaders working in the field; 2. Extending access to, and improving the quality of, central sector IT tools; 3. Updating the empirical scientific basis for sectoral planning and professional development; The direct target groups of the project are professionals working in social services, child welfare and child protection benefits, staff of organisations maintaining social, child welfare and child protection services, staff of the competent authorities for benefits in cash and in kind, staff of the social and child protection administration; authorities authorising the operation of social, child welfare and child protection institutions and monitoring experts; and the staff of the project promoter and industry manager. Furthermore, the target group of the intervention is those who can benefit directly from the primary results of the study or from the results of the studies: on the one hand, at the level of decision-makers, state, municipal and separate funds; participants in development policy. On the other hand, managers of institutions providing public services for families with young children and early childhood interventions (health, social services, primary child welfare and child protection institutions, etc.) and managing the provision of services. The indirect target groups of the project are professionals listed in the Social Administration and Social Benefits Act (Act III of 1993) and Act XXXI of 1997 on child protection and guardianship administration.
