An assignment addressing key issues in social work

Abstract

This assignment will focus on the key issues socially, economically and personally for the Hughes family, also the two methods of social work intervention I will use to assist with elevating issues, task-centred practice and crisis intervention. I will endeavour to critically analyse the effectiveness of these approaches and I will then provide an analysis of the similarities between them. Within this assignment I will also discuss anti-discriminative practice and anti-oppressive practice (ADP, AOP) with an overall view to social work practice and how oppression can be addressed.
Social work has changed dramatically from the Poor Law Victorian times to our present day however, involvement still appears to focus mainly on the lower levels of societies hierarchy, as Becker and Macpherson (1988) & Schorr (1992) state in Dominelli et al (42:2002)
