The analysis covers in particular the issue of the participation of social partners in the design and implementation of solutions aimed at the development of social services and deinstitutionalization, as well as the model of services co-production in Poland. The analysisis carried out in the context of the social investment paradigm and based on materials collected in the project entitled "Development and pilot implementation of mechanisms and plans for the deinstitutionalization of social services". The conclusions indicate that regulations and activities strengthening the investment paradigm and service approach in Polish social policy create favorable conditions and potential for stronger networking and real cooperation within local social partnerships.

Bringing together international case studies, this book offers theoretical and empirical insights into the interaction between social work and social policy. Moving beyond existing studies on policy practice, the book employs the policy cycle as a core analytical frame and focuses on the influence of social work(ers) in the problem definition, agenda setting, policy formulation and implementation of social policy. Twenty-three contributors offer examples of policy making from seven different countries and demonstrate how social work practitioners can become political actors, while also encouraging policy makers to become aware of the potential of social work for the social policy-making process
