The aim of this article is to present the new model of social work introduced on a pilot basis at the Social Welfare Centre in Bielany district in Warsaw. What is innovative about this model is the way of conducting professional, in-depth social work by a social worker who is not troubled by preparation and payment of social assistance benefits. This solution meets the needs expressed for years, both in the concept of a new law on social assistance and in experts’ opinions, to separate tasks concerning the administrative procedures from the proper social work. In this article I would like to show how the proposed changes have been implemented in current state of law and how the division of tasks performed by social workers functions.
