Secondly the course wants to provide future social workers with the knowledge necessary to know and understand the limits given by the legal apparatus to their actions.

Program

To facilitate the learning and implementation of the knowledge involved, the course, after an indispensable introductory theoretical part, develops through the analysis of a large jurisprudential case series. In particular, the teaching considers the fundamental elements of Italian public law, emphasizing the constitutional principles that inspire it and its realization. In this perspective, after an introductory part dedicated to the State and to the evolution of its forms, useful for understanding the current features of the European Union, the Italian constitutional organization is being analyzed, with particular regard to the system of competences that characterizes our regional state; the system of sources of law; the system of multi-level recognition and protection of fundamental rights, especially social rights, with particular attention to the right to health and the right to social assistance; all elements that are indefectible for the correct and responsible development of future professional activities in a social context ineluctably projected towards an "open social citizenship".
