Social work Codes of Ethics of professional organizations around
the world appeal to the concept of people having 'rights' that
social workers need to respect and advocate for. However, it isn't
always clear how social workers can actually incorporate human
rights-based approaches in their practice, whether domestic or
international. This book fills this gap by advancing rights-based
approaches to social work. The first part gives an overview of the
relationship between human rights and social work, and outlines a
model for how rights-based approaches can be integrated into social
work practice. The second part introduces the rights-based
framework across five mainstream areas of practice - poverty, child
welfare, older adults, health, and mental health. Each of these
substantive chapters: introduces the area of practice and
traditional social welfare interventions associated with it
outlines relevant human rights frameworks explores case studies
showcasing rights-based approaches presents practical implications
for implementing rights-based social work practice. The book ends
with a discussion of the limitations and criticisms of rights-based
approaches and lays out some future directions for practice. This
accessible text is designed for all those interested in learning
how to introduce human rights-based interventions into their
practice. It will be of particular use to social work students
taking direct practice, macro practice, social policy,
international social work and human rights courses as part of their
program.
