    Development of practice guidelines to assist social workers to improve anti-oppressive practices and to facilitate social justice in South Africa
    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Marais, Christival Ebenezer; Schenck, Catherina
    The researcher conducted a qualitative modified four step intervention research using the Design, and Development model. Human rights and Social Justice are central to the study, which advocates for the advancement of anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory policies that serve as the professional foundations of Social Work. A review of the literature, however, revealed that little research and literature exists on how Social Workers think about, facilitate, or implement anti-oppressive Social Work practise and Social Justice in South Africa. Despite significant legislative and policy progress in post-apartheid South Africa, Social Workers still face challenges in promoting Social Justice.
