The Social Services Act is a legal framework that organizes government responsibilities to support individuals and communities in need. It provides services such as healthcare, financial assistance, housing support, and care for vulnerable groups like children, seniors, and people with disabilities. The Act aims to promote social inclusion, equality, and well-being by ensuring everyone has access to necessary services, fostering independence, and protecting human rights. It guides how social services are planned, financed, and delivered, ensuring consistent standards and accountability across the system.
