    ASSIGNMENT 1

    INDEX NUMBER: 3695420

    Identify any three (3) elements useful for individual practice.


    Social work practice is the professional activity directed at enhancing, protecting or restoring
    people’s capacity for social functioning, whether impaired by physical, environment or
    emotional factors. The three (3) elements useful for individual practice are

    1. Problem Identification: the social worker actively listening to the client discuss what
    has brought them into treatment. The social worker must be able to listen to the client’s
    story without judging or predetermine a plan for action. The social worker can use open-
    ended questions to allow the client to describe the problem to gain understanding of the
    problem through the view of the client. Once the problem is identified and agreed upon
    the social worker and the client will prioritize the problems. Social worker should also
    assist the client with discovering the causes of problems including identifying the
    external systems that are involved in the problem, the factors precipitated this problem
    and who is involved in the problem and their role in the problem.

    2. Ethical practice: social work ethics are guidelines that social workers must abide by
    when acting in their professional capacity. It implies how ethics guide social workers
    behaviors and actions and how professionals build their knowledge and skills around
    ethical dilemmas. These include principles, values and standards that guide the
    profession. Ethical principles include social justice, service, dignity and worth of each
    person, integrity, the importance of human relationships and competence which all social
    work professionals should aspire. Some social work ethical standard with clients or
    individuals includes Commitment to clients, Self-determination, Informed consent,
    Access to records etc.

    3. Ability to establish rapport: Social Worker establish rapport or a harmonious


    relationship in which there is mutual understanding and connection. Social workers need
    to be sensitive and supportive of their clients and this comes in the form of social support,
    emotional support and empathy. A social workers worth might be measured by how you
    help your clients build their own support systems in order to help the client have better
    and longer lasting outcomes.
    Identify any two ways the social worker in the video used to sustain the change process.

    Planning Phase: this is when the client and social worker develop a plan with goals and
    objectives as what needs to be done to address the problem. A plan is developed to help
    the client meet their need or address the problem. The planning phase is a joint process
    where the social worker and the client identify the strengths and resources gathered from
    the assessment phase. Once the strengths and resources are identified, the social worker
    and the client come up with a plan by outlining goals, objectives and tasks to help meets
    the need or problem. The goals should be what the client is comfortable with and finds
    feasible to obtain.

    Intervention: social worker intervenes in client’s life to them solve a problem, get out of
    a negative situation and develop support systems to keep if from reoccurring. The
    intervention plan will be formulated based on the client assessment to help ensure the
    best chance of success. This could be helping clients see their situation in a different light
    or improve their mental space so they don’t get in their own way towards success and
    recovery.
