This article presents a methodology for researching the social services organization as a technology of social work based on the application of “Тheory of Dynamic Information Systems” methodology developed by Professor V. I. Razumov. The use of the “Тheory of Dynamic Information Systems” methodology made it possible to present the social service system, define its categorical apparatus, build triads of dynamic information systems in the area of social services, systematize the components of social service in a certain hierarchy, and develop the conceptual scheme “Social service as a social work technology”. Also, the article examines the approaches to the “social service” concept definition, functions, principles, forms, types, and directions of social services. Based on the analysis of scientific literature and regulatory documents, the current materials are presented that reveal the features of social policy in the field of organizing social services; and there was taken into consideration the scientific and theoretical foundations, substantive and technological features of social services in the conditions of modern society development.
