Today is World Social Work Day!
Social services help hold communities in Wales together. But what does it involve, and who does it help?
Social services exist to provide support that’s focused on improving the well-being of families, children, adults and carers.
Though the role of social services is complex and varied, it is underpinned by providing vital care and support. They provide a voice for families, children, adults and carers, creating a safe and healthy environment.
What do Social Workers do?
Social Workers aim to improve the lives of the people they work with. They support people through social and personal difficulties, while promoting their human rights and well-being.
They work with individuals, supporting their relationships with their families, groups and links to their community. Helping them to recognise their strengths, develop their skills and work on problems or challenges they may be facing.
