The Social Work professionals and practitioners are aware that
their profession is based on the principles of human rights and social
justice that serve to empower individuals, groups, and communities
to develop their full potential and well-being. The focus of
intervention in social work is the relationship between the individual
and their immediate and wider social environment. Particular
emphasis is placed on meeting the needs of vulnerable and
marginalized individuals and groups.
The Discipline of Social work is closely associated with government welfare and social
programs aimed at achieving social justice, fairness, and attainment of social equilibrium. The
social work profession promotes social change, problem solving in human relationships and
empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well-being. Utilizing theories of human
behavior and social systems, social work intervenes at the points where people interact with
their environments. Principle of human rights and social justice are fundamental to social
work.
Social workers aim to protect vulnerable people from abuse, neglect, or self-harm and
to help enhance their well-being and quality of life.
Social workers operate within legal frameworks for protecting and sup[porting
vulnerable people. For example, local authority social workers working with children and
families use child protection policies and procedures to intervene in families to protect
vulnerable children and provide support, while those working with adults aim to ensure that
their needs for care and protection are met.
Social work, like other applied social sciences, may help individuals cope with anxiety,
stress, or depression but it goes further to help the client gain access to other community
resources and support or empowering services that may be state run or privately operated.
