Refreshed Opportunity for Social Workers

has to be in place to facilitate the work of social workers to optimise their
contribution.
Social work is a profession that brings perspectives that increase
understanding of human behaviour especially in circumstances of stress, crisis
and uncertainties. It brings insights about how human beings with social
issues respond to help and hence is able to alter, shape and create service
delivery designs to increase responsiveness. In today’s world of heightened
uncertainty and ambiguity, the contribution of social work will become
increasingly important.
