In this paper I discuss some issues that are considered mandatory before placing social services in the new era is announced. We have seen how the welfare state has suffered the worst repercussions that led to the economic crisis, and social services have not been delivered to the same limitations that have affected other social policies. Overcoming the crisis does not seem to take us back to the starting point, but it will require reorienting the model that had been implemented in the last thirty-five years. Therefore, the aim of this text is to start a debate on how we should rethink the politics of social services within the framework of the welfare state to meet the new times we face. The analysis, based on secondary sources, is developed on two levels: a general as outlined in the first section focuses on unresolved issues in the social services sector in Spain; and a second, more focused on the practical aspects of the problem we see in the system of social services in Catalonia. Both parts are tested propositional conclusions, as all thought, must be seen as open to the replica corresponds to the entire scientific exegesis.
