This report from the GSCC on the roles and tasks of social work emphasises that social workers do not work in isolation: “increasingly they are members of teams with other social care and specialist support staff, or working in multi-disciplinary or multi-agency settings like children’s centres and community mental health teams. Social work brings its own distinctive knowledge, skills and values to the team, and other team members benefit from the understanding and insights social work offers.
