This paper briefly presents two case studies of disruptive innovation in social work practice from Romania, namely the introduction of social services for children with their parents working abroad (Save the Children Romania) and of the minimum package of services for children and families (DGASPC Bacău in collaboration with UNICEF Romania). The analysis of disruptive innovations is useful for understanding how certain initiatives have led to changes in social work legislation and, subsequently, the introduction of new practices. Social service providers are innovating to find solutions to problems such as unmet social needs or existing pressure on the social work system.
