Social workers aim to protect vulnerable people from abuse, neglect or self-
harm and to help to enhance their well-being and quality of life. Drawing upon a
rich knowledge base and theoretical perspectives derived from the social and
psychological sciences, social workers aim to promote positive individual and
social change. They operate within legal frameworks for protecting and supporting
vulnerable people. These social workers practices in statutory contexts such as
local authorities or in an organizational unit such as National Health Service Trusts,
that commonly assess the need for care, support and protection of individuals or
families, develop care plans and provide or manage the provision of care. They are
also responsible for implementing policies which aim to safeguard vulnerable
children or adults and ensure that people have as much choice and control over
services they use as possible. Social workers work closely with other professionals,
often known as 'inter-professional working'. University of York. (n.d.) Retrieved
