Social Welfare Policy as a Form of Social Justice

Abstract

Social workers confront horrific problems on a daily basis that reflect the broad range of social issues that plague and threaten the lives of people and weaken our civil structures. Central to the social work profession's mission is its work with and on behalf of the most vulnerable, at-risk, and marginalized persons in our communities. The author recognizes that social policy governs practice and agency work and that all policies are extensions of justice theories. The author believe that Rawls theory of justice best reflects the mission, values, and beliefs of the social work profession. The author identifies critical thinking, though merged with creative thinking as the overarching skill necessary for successful policy practice.
