THE SOCIAL WORKER`S ROLE OF EDUCATOR
Keywords:
social work, educator, professional roles, client systemAbstract
A social worker`s profession is very complex if we take into account the variety of fields these specialists work in, namely: child care services, care for the elderly, protection of parole prisoners, human trafficking victims, probation services. The complexity of roles a social worker has to play is given by the integrated character of provided services, i.e. each client`s issues are approached from multiple perspectives so as to make full use of the client`s resources and potential as well as of the community resources. The topic of roles played by social workers alternatively during interventions is quite old and widely debated. In this paper I would strictly refer to the role of educator, trying to identify where exactly they play this role, the services this role is vital for and what is really involves.References
