13 Social work, rights and society

Abstract

This brief final chapter reviews the wider implications of a rights-focused perspective on social work. It is suggested that it has fundamental implications for what we perceive to be the aims of social work, and therefore for how we evaluate and lead such services. For instance, rights-focused practices – such as policing or courts – are not usually best judged by outcomes. Processes are intrinsically important for rights-focused practice. This explains much of the complexity in leading or research in social work. More generally, the book ends with an argument in favour of the contribution that rights-focused practice can make not just for individuals but in creating a good society, namely one that is humane, kind, authoritative and respectful.
