Abstract

The social protection service of a child's personal companion represents the provision of appropriate individual practical support to the child for inclusion in regular schooling, and activities in the community, in order to establish the highest possible level of independence. The Social Protection Law does not explicitly prescribe this service, but it belongs to daily services in the community. Supported housing for people with physical disabilities, intellectual or mental difficulties, is the assurance of appropriate accommodation, professional assistance and support in gaining the highest degree of independence that enables them to live a better independent life in the community. The paper presents the normative arrangement of the services of a child's personal companion and a supported housing in Serbian law and comparative law with observed shortcomings and a proposal to amend the regulations.
