YEREVAN, AUGUST 15, NOYAN TAPAN. The draft to the "Guidebook for Social Servicemen's House Visits" was worked out for specialists engaged in social work in Armenia. Social servicemen's rights and obligations, rules of professional ethics are particularly presented in it. The seminar on the theme "The Guidebook for Social Servicemen's House Visits and Ethics Rules" organized on August 15 was dedicated to discussion of the draft guidebook. As Artsvik Minasian, the RA Deputy Minister of Labour and Social Issues mentioned, one of the important components of the social security of inhabitation is improvement of the social servicemen's institute. According to him, the social serviceman was formed in Armenia as a profession during the recent years. In A.Minasian's opinion, development of professional abilities and skills as well as theoretical knowledge are important preconditions for improvement of that institute. Both territorial agencies on social service and numerous public organizations are today engaged in social work in the republic. In A.Minasian's words, arising of the social-economic state of Armenia, demands presented to a social serviceman are also changed during a period of time.
