GoalsandScopeof SocialWork

with regard to fill participation of people in society.
• Contribute to the development of knowledge for
social work profession through research and
evaluation.
• Encourage exchange of information in those
institutional systems in which both problems and

The goal and scope of social work as laid
down is noble and broad-to help an
individual be included in society and to
transform the very society that creates
structures that marginalize individuals
from full participation in the enjoyment of
social services and resources of the
community. Change sought is one that
makes the individual and the community a
better place for everyone.
