The world is now a global village, yet cultural diversity is at the forefront of social work practice within and across countries. Professional social workers in different countries increasingly have to relate to a multicultural society, and to develop culturally relevant and appropriate practices with individuals and families, groups and communities. In addition, social workers have to work across different national boundaries or with issues which emanate from forces both within and beyond the countries they are from. Social work education therefore has to be able to prepare graduates to work in varying cultural and socio-economic contexts. In two parts, Cross-Cultural Social Work: Local and global addresses contemporary issues that are at the forefront of community care and development. Part 1 discusses theories and perspectives for culturally appropriate practice, education and research, whilst part 2 contains approaches to working with culturally diverse groups and practice areas. Issues addressed in these parts include: Part 1 Culture in social work, cultural competence, whiteness in social work, biculturalism, working with diversity, and culturally based methods of inquiry. Part 2 Marginalised indigenous communities, social and economic barriers, new and emerging communities, end-of-life issues, international adoption, and culturally diverse aged care. Combining theoretical discussions and practical knowledge building materials Cross-Cultural Social Work facilitates the development of cultural competence among social work students, educators, practitioners and researchers. The book engages readers to critically reflect on cultural underpinnings of dominant social work theories and methods, and to challenge the way we think about culture and cross-cultural practice. Key Features • A collection of works from contributors from different practice settings and different countries which facilitates the development of 'cultural competence' among social work students and educators, practitioners and researchers • Reflects the stipulations of professional accreditation bodies, such as the Australian Association of Social Workers, to include cross-cultural practice as well as standards of practice with minority communities in curriculum content • Combines theoretical discussions and practical knowledge building materials to aid in understanding theories in practice and prepare graduates to work in varying cultural and socio-economic contexts.

This study examined cultural competence in social work practice. The heart of the social work profession lies in advocacy for the enhanced quality of life for all individuals, groups, and communities, regardless of their cultural background. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and the Council of Social Work Education (CSWE) mandate that social workers recognize their ethical responsibility for cultural competence. However, because of social work's comprehensive clientele, combined with humanity's extensive list of intersecting backgrounds, the very essence of cultural competence comprises fundamental complications in its overall conceptualization and application of theory to practice. The purpose of this study was to explore the ways in which newly employed social workers conceptualized cultural competence, considered their Master in Social Work/Welfare (MSW) programs as preparing them for cultural competence development, and experienced challenges regarding preparedness in cultural competence practice. The sample comprised of 20 participants. Participants were required to be recent graduates from an accredited CSWE MSW program and newly employed in the field of social welfare. Through qualitative research methods, I conducted individual semi-structured interviews and one focus group. The goal of this study was to better understand the complexities of social workers' conceptualization, experiences, and challenges in cultural competence relative to the knowledge and skills gained through their MSW programs. The findings for this study emphasized the multifaceted nature of cultural competence and highlighted how its complexities--in its conceptualization, mandate, and expectations--preemptively created barriers in participants' pursuit to empower their clients. The inherent paradoxical nature of cultural competence allowed participants to embrace their approach with an understanding of the role of respect for their clients' diversity. With regard to preparation, the findings suggest the need for beginning social workers to be challenged in their cultural competence and self-awareness development--whether through their MSW curriculum or facilitation of the MSW faculty--as an indicator of success. In consideration of the ways in which clients' and social workers' culture plays a role when providing effective services, my findings demonstrate various complexities, such as the realm of familiarity or the manifestation of prejudice or discrimination in actualized practice.

For decades, teachers and practitioners have turned to Frederic G. Reamer’s Social Work Values and Ethics as the leading introduction to ethical decision making, dilemmas, and professional conduct in practice. A case-driven, concise, and comprehensive textbook for undergraduate and graduate social work programs, this book surveys the most critical issues for social work practitioners. This sixth edition incorporates significant updates to the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics and discussion of challenging issues related to cultural competency, antiracism, moral injury, human rights, environmental justice, ethical humility, non-Western perspectives on ethics, and practitioner self-care. Reamer also focuses on how social workers should navigate the digital world through discussion of the ethical issues that arise from practitioner use of online services and social networking sites to deliver services, communicate with clients, and provide information to the public, and he examines the standards that protect confidential information transmitted electronically. He highlights potential conflicts between professional ethics and legal guidelines and expands discussions of informed consent, confidentiality and privileged communication, boundaries and dual relationships, documentation, conflicts of interest, and risk management. Conceptually rich and attuned to the complexities of ethical decision making, Social Work Values and Ethics is unique in striking the right balance among history, theory, and practical application.
