Methodological note

The information in this area comes mainly from the Ministry of Work, Social Rights and Families, and specifically from the Database of Social Entities and Establishments. The core of this Database is the Register of entities, services and social establishments, in which registration is mandatory to carry out activities in the field of social services, an aspect that is supervised by the Inspection Service of the same Ministry.

The Register was set up in 1987 and implementing it took a relatively long time. This has most likely affected the time series to the extent that its operation has led to the inclusion in the database of already existing establishments which for various reasons were not known to the public administration.

Furthermore, continuous developments in the social services and changes in the regulations governing them add to the difficulties in interpreting the statistical evolution of the provision of social services.

Note: from 1996 onwards, the places recorded in the educational action residential centres refer to places arranged by the Ministry of Justice.

You can get more information about these statistics in the methodology.
