7. Intervention and Skills: Use judgement and authority to intervene with individuals, families and communities to
promote independence, provide support and prevent harm, neglect and abuse
Social workers engage with individuals, families, groups and communities, working alongside people to assess and intervene. They
enable effective relationships and are effective communicators, using appropriate skills. Using their professional judgment, they
employ a range of interventions: promoting independence, providing support and protection, taking preventative action and
ensuring safety whilst balancing rights and risks. They understand and take account of differentials in power, and are able to use
authority appropriately. They evaluate their own practice and the outcomes for those they work with.
