  Care policy emerged as a new concept in 2021 within the domestic social welfare system and the world of social sciences that underpin it. In recent years, it has been institutionalized in several stages, continuously in new areas. In the study, we attempt to define and analyze the content of care policy based on two foundational textbooks published at the end of 2024 and related publications, highlighting the essential content elements and the differences from the system of social work and social policy. Care policy is characterized by a contradictory, ambivalent relationship with the concepts of social policy and social work; it simultaneously seeks to consider itself as an organic, qualitatively progressive continuation of them, while at several points it firmly denies their fundamental principles and values. The monitoring and interpretation of the development of care policy is of paramount importance for the social policy and social work in Hungary.
