In connection to this, social workers are the representatives of action and change for the individuals, families and communities that they serve in society. Social work is a system of interrelated sets of values, theories and practices. Social work values are the profession`s national and international sets of moral codes.Social work takes existing obstacles, inequalities and injustices to its focus.
