| | social care services | Explanation:
I think sociaal-maatschappelijke dienstverlening is quite a broad-based course, which - according to your own ref - covers a wide range of disciplines and issues that can affect people throughout their lives.
See -> "The Social Care Institute for Excellence’s (SCIE) mission is to identify and spread knowledge about good practice to the large and diverse social care workforce and support the delivery of transformed, personalised social care services."

In NL is er ook overlap hoor: een sociaal werker of maatschappelijk werker; de eersten meestal politieker dan de laatsten, en de mw van oudsher praktischer en breder (sociaal/maatschappelijk) uitgangspunt dan therapeuten/psychologen.

Voor je genoemde website zou ik het bij social work houden.

Asker: Thanks, Lianne. I was considering that too, but wondering if that wouldn't be the same translation as for 'maatschappelijk werk', which I think is something else altogether.
