Social Work, Tasks Of Social Workers
Social Work
As
a professional activity, Zastrow (1999:24) suggests that social work is based
on a framework of knowledge (body of knowledge), a framework of values (body of
value), and a framework of expertise (body of skill).
Tan
and Envall (2000:5) define social work, as follows:
Social
work is a way to encourage problem solving related to humanitarian relations,
social change, human empowerment and liberation, and the improvement of
society. Using theories of human behavior and social systems, social work
intervenes at the point (or situation) in which people interact with their
environment. The principles of human rights and social justice are essential to
social work.
According
To O.Connor, et.al (2003:1):
Social
work practice seeks to promote human well-being and to redress human suffering
and injustice. Practitioners aim to mobilize the force of the individual,
community and state to address the process by which individuals and groups are
marginalized or diminished in their capacity to participate as citizens
Social Work, Tasks Of Social Workers
Social Work
Some
principles of social work, namely:
1.
Acceptance means that a social worker must accept the client as he is,
understand the way the client thinks, the values of the client, the various
needs of the client and the client's feelings;
2.
Non-judgemental, meaning that a social worker should not be prejudiced against
the client, should not judge the client from the negative side, but see the
client from his strength based side;
3.
Individualization, meaning that a social worker must address and appreciate the
unique nature and behavior of clients. Because every client who has different
character traits between clients with one another;
4.
Self-Determination is the freedom to make decisions by the client. It is important
for the client to choose the right decision according to himself. So the role
of social workers here is to provide the best views, opinions and solutions.
But it is the client who decides what is best for him;
5.
Genuine / congruence, meaning that in this case a social worker must be
himself, not be a made-up person as well as personal selflessness when doing
social work practices;
6.
Controlling emotional involvement, means that social workers are able to be
objective and neutral. So a peksos in this case must promote empathy from his
sympathy, must be able to control himself in responding to the client,
understand the client's situation and view the client's response as a natural
thing by looking at the situation and conditions faced by the client; and
7.
Confidentiality: social workers must keep confidential information about the
identity, the content of conversations with clients, the opinions of other
professionals or case records about the client. The seven principles are the
foundation as well as the limits of social work in intervening with its clients
in accordance with the settings found.

Social Work, Tasks Of Social Workers
Social Work
Dolgoof
and Feldstein (2007:4) state that, “Social welfare is all social interventions
intended to enhance or maintain the social functioning of human beings. Social
work is a professional occupation that delivers social welfare services”.
Social
workers have a code of ethics when practicing both in social services to
individual groups, communities, and communities. Social worker practices
include micro (social workers perform practices to solve individual or
individual problems), mezzo (social workers practice solving family and other
small group problems), macro (social workers perform practices to solve larger
group problems and work with organizations or communities to make social change
and social policies).
Social Work, Tasks Of Social Workers
Social Work
Next
Is J. Marbun (2011:154) describes several variables that determine the role of
professional social workers, namely:
1.
A dualistic approach to social work: change and personal development, and
change and development as a whole.
2.
The functions of Social Work Practice are interrelated: prevention by
developing research, analysis, preparation and development of social welfare
policies, programs and services
2.
As an enabler
This
role is often used in the profession of social workers because it is an early
concept of empowerment. Social workers focus on the ability, capacity, and
competence of the client or recipient of services to help themselves. Peksos
will identify goals, facilitate communication, cohesive and synergize
relationships, and provide opportunities for problem solving/conflict
resolution.
3.
As a mediator
Social
Workers Act to seek agreement, promote reconciliation of differences, to reach
a satisfactory agreement, and to intervene on the parts in conflict, including
discussing all issues in a compromising and persuasive manner.
The
role of social workers is to help resolve conflicts between two or more
systems, resolve disputes between families and clients/ recipients of services,
and obtain the rights of victims.
4.
As a lawyer (Advocate)
The
term advocate (defender) is derived from the legal profession. However, the
role of advocates in social work is different from advocates in the legal
realm. Advocates in the realm of social work are limited by the interests
arising from the client or recipient of the service.
Social
workers will act as spokespersons, explaining and arguing about the problems of
clients or recipients of services when necessary, defending the interests of
victims to ensure the source system, providing services needed, or changing
system policies that are not responsive to the interests of victims.
5.
As a member of (conference)
The
role of the social worker includes exploration and clear understanding of the
problem, linking and emphasizing assessments that constitute a single problem,
designing goals to reduce pressure, creating common alternative strategies,
evaluating results, implementing strategies and terminating or terminating
services.
The
skills required in the consultant role are common skills used in social work
practice such as listening skills, probing, reinforcement/reflection, and
others.
6.
As a guardian
The
profession of social worker can protect clients or recipients of services, and
people at high risk of social life. Thus the client or recipient of the service
will feel comfortable to express his problem, release the burden of his mind,
and so on.
7.
As facilitator
Facilitators
are tasked with helping clients or service recipients to participate,
contribute, engage in New expertise, and formulate agreements that have been
reached together (Parson, et al. 1994:12).
Social
workers provide social services in accordance with the needs and problems faced
by clients or recipients of services. This is so that the client or recipient
of the service can think well about what is needed during the intervention
process.
8.
As an initiator
According
to Zastrow, the initiator is a role that gives attention to problems or things
that have the potential to be a problem (2000:75). Therefore, social workers
who act as initiators should try to pay attention to the issues experienced by
clients or recipients of services. Social workers must be able to make the
agency/institution/ Social home and the local community aware of the problems
and needs of clients or recipients of services.
9.
As negotiator
This
role is mostly performed on clients or service recipients who experience
conflicts and require problem solving by compromise.
