Social work is a professional and academic discipline committed to the pursuit of social welfare and social change. Social workers perform interventions through research, policy, community organizing, direct practice and teaching. Research is often focused on areas such as human development, social policy, public administration, program evaluation and international and community development. Social workers are organized into local, national, continental and international professional bodies. Social work, an interdisciplinary field, includes theories from economics, education, medicine, philosophy, politics, psychology, as well as anti-oppressive and anti-racist discourse. This book studies social work including school social workers, child protection, role of the professional social worker, and Charity Organization Society.
