Social

welfare organisations operate in a highly competitive environment, and solely

depend on donors for financial support.

A key attribute of an effective and efficient

multidisciplinary team, includes the undefined parameters of tasks and

responsibilities.

The social work profession draws on theories of human

development and behaviour, and of social systems, to analyse complex situations

and facilitate individual, organisational, social and cultural changes.

On terminating the service with the client, social workers

have an obligation to delete the records immediately.

The functions of student supervision are similar to those of

the supervision of qualified social workers.

While

most social work services involve a social worker conversing with clients,

records of all the conversations are not the social worker’s only tangible

evidence of work done.

Multidisciplinary teams have no training needs, as each team

member is already an expert in his/her field.

An organisational structure consists of activities which are

directed towards achieving organisational aims.

Peer

supervision relies on a designated supervisor.
