today is the first world social work day!!!
Social Workers from every part of the world celebrate the first ever World Social Work Day on March 27th 2007.
Social Work: Making a World of Difference is the theme, highlighting that social workers help people to make positive changes in their lives.
The theme mirrors the IFSW 50th jubilee logo.
Social workers are involved with some of the most distressed and vulnerable people in our communities. They require not only compassion and dedication to help those in need but also intellectual and analytical skills and personal commitment. These are demanding qualities in special people.
Social work practice is always challenging and can be dangerous. In many situations the safety of social workers is at risk and there have been recent examples of social workers suffering serious injury and death.
Social workers recognise that the voice of vulnerable and marginalised individuals and groups (such as those living in poverty, people who are homeless, children and older people and people with physical or learning disabilities) is often not heard.
Social workers aim to enable people to voice their concerns and to work jointly with service users to improve national and international social policies. Social workers respond not only to individual needs, but also larger social issues such as poverty, domestic violence, homelessness and health care. Social work aims to promote human rights and social justice.
