    The legacy of the role of social work and welfare services within the implementation of government policies in the past can still compromise relationships within communities, social workers are responsible for ensuring our practice is culturally responsive, safe and sensitive to stop this perpetuation of distrust in support services. As social workers it is important to commit to reconciliation, to addressing divisions and inequities between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australian’s and improving these relationships. The strength and resilience of these communities are impacted by multiple problems including historical and ongoing dispossession, marginalisation and racism, along with past policies of forced removal and cultural assimilation all negatively contributing to many of the social issues we find affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today (Australian Association of Social Workers, 2017). As social workers it is a large role of ours to familiarise and understand the organisations, services and agencies who are planning and/or delivering Indigenous-specific services and to work alongside these groups,

  • Social Works Role In Adult Services

    Social works’ role in adult services deals with a wide array of people from mental health to offenders to older people. With this wide and vague role a number of tensions and challenges arise. Many challenges develop in the role that result in tensions and vice-versa. The main challenge affecting all social work areas at the moment is heavy workloads and lack of time; it has been found that most effective social work practise involves an on-going assessment and regularly checking in with clients.

This understanding is necessary to evaluate the client’s needs and to develop an appropriate strategy for providing assistance (Lundberg 2010).

  • Child Welfare System

    The collaborative effort of both the social worker and the family would prevent problems that cause children from coming into care, but, also protecting the well being of the child, and formulating meaningful solutions unique to their situations. In working along side families, we are able to address larger structural and systematic barriers and powers that should be held responsible for their (families and child) situation. Such as the overrepresentation of racialized and Aboriginal children in the system; systemic racism, poverty/ low income related situations; living on minimum wage. By taking a critical look at the structural and systemic barriers that lead to such situations, we can also see how societal views can influence the way in which the social worker makes decisions regarding whether or not to place the child in care or not.

  • Empowerment Theory In Social Work

    1508 Words  | 7 Pages

    Modern social workers are frequently tasked with certain objectives by their agencies, which leave little room for any work beyond specific treatments and timeframes (Gitterman & Knight, 2016). Although social workers are bound to the set of ethics put forth by the NASW, practitioners are often limited to focusing on the issues of the individual rather than the larger societal issues that may be behind those concerns. Additionally, many social work students end up working in direct practice, rather than macro work. There is a need for social workers to engage at the macro level in order to facilitate community organization and empowerment. Critics suggest this theory may not take into account the unique experiences of each individual and perhaps key characteristics of the individual or group are not taken into consideration (Sadan, 1997).
