- The Role and Responsibilities of the Social Worker
- What is the role and responsibilities of the social worker AS DEFINED BY LAW/POLCIY/GUIDANCE AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION in relation to this specific service user?
- This is NOT asking you to provide a care plan for the service user (e.g., “the social worker should provide a carer”) and it is NOT asking you for an in-depth exploration of the approach a social worker might take (e.g., a person-centred approach) – though if you want to briefly mention an approach which might fit with the social worker’s role/responsibilities this is fine.
- Please consider the social worker’s role/responsibilities critically, drawing on evidence from relevant research and literature
Please remember that the professional regulator is Social Work England (SWE) not HCPC/GSCC/any other body. Many (but not all) social workers are members of BASW (British Association of Social Work) and those who are would be expected to follow BASW’s code of ethics. The NASW is not applicable as this is an American organisation.
