Social Work Methods and Approaches

Unit 10.

Methods of working in social work have evolved over a long period, rooted in common core principles but reflecting changing legal and policy frameworks, social attitudes and expectations, and relationships between professionals and the public. Key features include:

- professional relationships based on warmth, trust and rapport with people using services;

- social models of assessing people’s situations and working with them to overcome barriers to participation and independence;

- practice that seeks to put power in the hands of people to manage their own situations, with the social worker as facilitator;

- work that integrates individual, family and community dimensions in a creative balance;

- distinctive approaches to understanding and working with risk, recognizing the need to safeguard those who are vulnerable whilst enabling people to take the risks that go with ordinary everyday living;

- modern approaches to established casework skills and methodologies, working systematically and in an integrated way to keep a focus on people’s practical, social and psychological wellbeing;

- applying and extending principles of personalization, which have always been at the heart of social work at its best, to help people find individual solutions to their situations and achieve satisfactory outcomes;
