The article deals with the mechanisms of social policy regulated by the regulatory framework of the state and describes the existing models of assistance. The society has to adapt the existing «standards» to the needs of people with disabilities and people with special needs (as it demonstrated by examples in Germany, the United Kingdom and China), so that they do not feel hostage to the circumstances and have limited opportunities. That means an important moment in harmonizing the mechanism of state actions in social policy is the «removal» of periodically emerging contradictions and timely reforms. The material is aimed at improving the level of knowledge about social policy and forms of provision of social assistance in Ukraine
