APSS CR presents and defends the interests of its members towards the government and towards non-government institutions. To do so, APSS CR elaborates professional statements, initiates external examinations, issues expert magazines and books and works towards the establishment of desirable law regulations regarding social services. The Association also informs about research findings on the work of providers of social services and passes on national and international expertise to its members.
APSS CR organises congresses, specialized conferences and education programs as well as the already traditional “Week of Social Services” of the Czech Republic. Through a national project that assesses the quality of care homes, APSS CR awards marks of quality to those institutions that pass the assessment.
APSS CR is a full member of the Federation of European Social Employers.
