Interest to pursue a profession in Social Work

Please read the following description of the social work profession from the International
Federation of Social Worker’s “Global Social Work Statement of Ethical Principles” and describe
two social work practice goals and how they align with this definition.
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.
