CORE VALUES

OF SOCIAL
WORK
Shynnevie Fernandez
 Directs social worker to go beyond purely
1.SERVICE
performing a service for a pay and allow them to
be generous with their time. - Their work borders
on charity and professional service.
 2.COMPASSION
Considered as an important
value for all humankind but in
social work, it is the basis for
someone to go out and become
a voice to the voiceless and a
friend to the people who need it
most.
3.COMPETENCE
Is a very important value for
social work because it
separates social caregiving
from social work
professional practice.
 4. DIGNITY AND
WORTH OF THE
PERSON
Provides the determination and
drive for social workers to seek the
marginalized in all forms without
much regard as to whether such
problem is self- inflicted or socially
imposed. In the heart of social work
is the belief that all humans have
dignity and worth regardless of their
acts and status in life.
0 5.IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN RE
LATIONSHIP

As a value, makes it possible for social

workers to do their job as most human
situations they seek to address require
collaborating with so many other professionals
and individuals with a stake in the issue.
Social work is all about relationship.
