Social casework is widely used by social assistants in care and education institutions and rehabilitation and psychological counseling to provide social assistance in a broad sense to individuals, taking into account their current environmental situation. Social casework is treated in terms of a process that aims, on the one hand, at developing personality predisposition that facilitates adaptation to the functioning in society, and on the other hand, at developing the ability to cope with the demands of the ever changing world. Social workers play an important role in selecting the method of social casework: by providing assessment and therapeutic interventions, they undertake assistance activities aimed at strengthening and developing the client’s potential. Special importance is attached to empowerment and its fundamental principle to overcome the individual’s difficulties and make him or her independent from the supporting institution, including the social worker, by providing him or her with knowledge and skills that are necessary to function in society independently and effectively.

The social worker is prepared to professionally implement changes in families experiencing problems that they cannot cope with. Raising the level of social worker’s professional competence in this field takes place both during the education preparing him/her for work and in the course of obligatory professional development. As the initiator of change in the family, the social worker can increase the chances to success in life of its members and, thus, to improve the quality of their lives. In organizational units, social workers must cope with dynamic and intense changes. What is important in their professional profile, is the way they perceive changes and the willingness to deal with them. Presented analyzes allow not only to determine the level of willingness to change among the social workers and the family members they assist but also to compare the preparedness level in the selected groups. It turned out that there are significant differences in the three out of seven analyzed readiness scales. However, in all groups people with low scores prevail.

This article aims to present social work as a practice protecting the rights of people suffering from the processes of marginalisation. It takes as its point of departure two models of advocacy structuring multiple types of activity in this field, ranging from work with particular individuals to political engagement at the macro level. The next part offers a discussion of the results of a quantitative study (CAWI and CATI interviews) conducted among social workers from local social welfare centres in the Wielkopolska region. In the light of analysis of the obtained data, the practice of advocacy in social work emerges as one focused on providing direct assistance in the form of financial and non-financial benefits. The declared level of acceptance to facilitating collective action and macro practice of social work was lower. The results also reveal the attitudes of social workers to social rights and social problems.

Human life has two forms. The first one is the successful management of private, professional life, the second one is in certain moments inability to harmonize their states and processes with the environment. Here we can see the effect of the social worker and his client. Client - an individual who at some point cannot understand the meaning of his own actions, gets into situations that seem to be so difficult to manage and he is not able even think about possible strategies for solutions. Social worker - a person who has such a wide range of options to address the adverse situations that at one point he is capable to offer and apply several solutions. The social worker is, therefore a person who has theoretical knowledge and social skills, knows how to react and propose a solution. Career opportunities in practice are wide and necessary due to the increasing number of socio-pathological phenomena, problems and vulnerable groups. Social skills are trainable. It is, therefore necessary to appeal to the development of these skills, which influence the future direction of personality and career opportunities in the field of social work.

Reflection on the changing conception of the job of the social worker and on the changes of his professional role along with the institutionalization and professionalization of the job is the main motif of the considerations. In the first part of the article the idea and traditions of social work are briefly outlined, which is an introduction to a discussion of the history of the function of the social worker (initially ‘social curator’) in the institutional system of social aid. Starting from the social curator in Poland before World War II, through the personnel of social aid in the period of the Polish People’s Republic, and ending with the social worker in the contemporary Republic of Poland – the article discusses the institutional position of the people who do the job, the changing range of the job’s tasks and the profile of the professional role that is a response to social expectations. In the article attention is paid to the fact that ever more is required from social workers as far as their professional and ethical competence is concerned, but also to the broadening scope of tasks and responsibility of the social worker who, in the contemporary conception of the job, is to fulfill the function of the local social politician.

Contemporary society around the world is highly volatile and therefore any support system that responds to the real needs of people must be constantly evolving. As a result, new and innovative solutions appear in the social welfare system. However, the analysis of public policies and programs shows that many good ideas are not implemented in the daily work of employees who directly support clients. There is a resistance on their part to novelty and their openness to the implementation of new concepts is limited. The aim of the article is to analyze the phenomenon of openness to change. The study was conducted on a group of 186 social welfare workers (132 social workers and 54 family assistants). Two research categories were adopted: declared and actual openness to change. The results of the study showed that social assistance workers declare a high level of openness to change, but their measured level of real openness is actually low. Although employees declare great support for new solutions, they do, in fact, have very low tolerance for uncertainty and the ability to take risks, which is inherent in the implementation of innovations. Thus, a gap arises between the declared and actual value. This discovery is crucial for the successful implementation of innovations and may be one of the more important obstacles to its realization. It is necessary to change the current approach and broaden the activities preparing for implementation of new solutions so that the actual readiness to change of employees is at a sufficient level.

The definition of social work is relatively young but at the same time it is of the most progressively developing professions nowadays. The aim of the article is the analysis, the comparison and the description of global trends and national standards of ethics in social work practice. Ethics is presented as an integral part of social work - as a profession and an academic discipline. Codes of ethics are important tools for sensitising people who perform and study social work, although these do not replace their own, internally motivated sense of responsibility. This article discusses not only the current International Code of Ethics and the Slovak Code of Ethics for Social Worker and Social Work Assistant but also it demonstrates the diachronic aspect with regards to changes in the last two decades in the international and national understanding of the profession and ethics of social work.

Approximately twenty thousand children who grow up in the Czech Republic live without or outside their families. If a child does not have sufficiently safe and suitable conditions for his/her healthy development, which should be provided by his or her own family, the state has the obligation to maintain alternative care for such citizens. Substitute care is provided by substitute family care (also known as foster care) or institutional care. The aim of the article is to analyse the impact of social work practice that deals with children and teenagers. The analysis includes the comparison between two countries – Poland and Denmark which both provide social care in the form of foster care (also for vulnerable children). In recent years, the social care system for vulnerable children has undergone significant reforms and it is still dynamically developing. The transformation of the system in the Czech Republic, which was carried out by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and with other ministries including the Ministry of Interior, made a significant contribution to the development. The analysis of historical development of the foster care system, the phenomenon of neglection and its genesis, mental deprivation of children through neglection are also widely discussed in the work.
