The Deadline for Global Definition Consultation Extended

The Deadline for the consultation on the proposed IFSW/IASSW Global Definition of Social Work Profession has been extended to 31 August 2013.
Please let us know at presidentoffice@gmail.com if you have any comments or suggestions.

The current International Definition of Social Work has been reviewed to change in these few years. The latest version which has been proposed by IASSW and IFSW is as follows:

The New International Definition of the Social Work Profession

The social work profession facilitates social change and development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people. Principles of social justice, human rights, collective responsibility and respect for diversities are central to social work. Underpinned by theories of social work, social sciences, humanities and indigenous knowledge, social work engages people and structures to address life challenges and enhance wellbeing.

The above definition may be amplified at national and/or regional levels.
