About Social Work

Social workers show empathy, care, compassion and give support to individuals, families, populations and communities identified to be in need of support through the promotion of socio-economic wellbeing, human rights and dignity and social justice in an ethical way by facilitating access to support that alleviate identified hardships.
Social Workers as an agents of change for the good of individuals, families and society give hands-on support to enable and empower Service Users to: cope in crisis, live independently, access additional support and improve their lives.
The 2014 International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) General Assembly and the General Meeting of the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) approved Global definition of Social Work Profession:
“Social work is a practice-based profession and an academic discipline that promotes social change and development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people. Principles of social justice, human rights, collective responsibility and respect for diversities are central to social work. Underpinned by theories of social work, social sciences, humanities and indigenous knowledges, social work engages people and structures to address life challenges and enhance wellbeing. The above definition may be amplified at national and/or regional levels.”
