Abstract

The security of workers of social services is one of the most important issues determining the quality of services provided by the social assistance and integration system. It belongs to the catalog of basic human needs. Additionally, in the professional sphere, it serves as a regulator of interpersonal relations. It identifies social relationships of the type of social worker – the user (recipient of benefits and services of social assistance and integration). The ethos and identity of the social service belong to the so-called group of invisible instruments. They condition the safety of this professional group. In this regard, they also serve as an analytical tool that refers to the factorial theory of the security of workers of social services.
