Social work
Definition
From:
British Association of Social Workers (BASW): Code of Ethics for Social Work, para 1.1
Human rights and social justice serve as the motivation and justification for social work action. In solidarity with those who are disadvantaged, the profession strives to alleviate poverty and to work with vulnerable and oppressed people in order to promote social inclusion. Social work values are embodied in the profession’s national and international codes of ethics.
