The main aim of the authors of this paper is to draw attention to the importance and most urgent challenges of compensatory services in the Polish system of family support and care, as well as the most important conditions for their functioning and development in the light of their own research, with special attention to the directions of changes in the law. The authors emphasize that looking at and trying to evaluate these conditions through the prism of the assumptions of servicisation (such as standardisation of procedures, marketisation, outsourcing, flexibilisation, co-production of social services, etc.) provides a better opportunity to recognise them and accurately determine the directions of their development. At the same time, they argue that a more systemic approach to the services under review is necessary, which is why they propose a modified title for the law: „The Law on the System of Family and Foster Care Support”.
