WHAT IS SOCIAL WORK

Page | 4
Social work is a profession dedicated to improving the well-being and quality of life of individuals,
families, groups, and communities. Social workers aim to enhance social functioning, alleviate social
injustices and hardships, and address the complex needs of vulnerable populations. They work in
various settings such as hospitals, schools, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and
community centers, providing support, advocacy, counseling, and resources to help individuals and
communities overcome challenges and achieve positive outcomes. Social work encompasses a wide
range of areas, including child welfare, mental health, healthcare, substance abuse, aging, poverty
alleviation, and social justice advocacy.

INTRODUCTION TO FIELD WORK

Fieldwork typically involves working directly with clients in their natural environment. Social workers
or community workers engage with individuals, families, or communities to address specific issues,
provide support, and implement interventions. This hands-on experience helps professionals
understand and respond to the unique circumstances of their clients in real-world settings. This
hands-on experience not only boosted my confidence but also provided invaluable insights,
contributing significantly to my learning and professional development as a community worker.

OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of field work are as follow:

 Gain practical experience

 Develop professional skills
 Understand client needs
 Foster cultural competence
 Enhance critical thinking
 Prepare for professional practice  Contribute to social change

INTRODUCTION TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Community:

According to Ogburn and Nimcoff, A community may be thought of as total

organization of social life within a limited area.
Community Development:
Community Development process mean those different skills, techniques and methods which
enable a professional social worker to solve various existing and arising problems of the
community in a very planned and successful manner.

Page | 5
According to the United Natios(UN), Community Development is the process where
community members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to
common problems.

PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

❖ Principle of Acceptance:
Acceptance means to accept the client with all his deficiencies and draw backs as a person
with a problem.

❖ Principle of Participation of local people:

Participation means the involvement of client along with the case worker in problem solving
process.
❖ Principle of Participation of Local leadership:
A professional community worker should keep in his/her mind that he/she is an outsider or
stranger in the community.So without the participation of local leadership i.e. key persons of
the community,he/she will not be able to find out different types of need and problems and
sources of the community.
❖ Principle of Self help:
The principle of self-help promotes the idea of communities helping themselves by utilizing their
resources and skills to address challenges and improve their well-being. It encourages self-reliance
and independence.

❖ Principle of Equal Opportunities for all people:

The principle of equal opportunities for all underscores the importance of providing fair access to
resources, services, and opportunities regardless of differences in caste, creed, color, age, or

gender. It aims to ensure inclusive development for all community members. ❖ Principle of

Coordination:
The principle of coordination emphasizes the need for harmonizing efforts among different
stakeholders to avoid duplication, overlap, or conflicting activities. It promotes collaboration and
synergy to maximize the impact of community development initiatives.

❖ Principle of Utilization of Community Resources:

The principle of utilization of community resources focuses on maximizing the use of local assets,
including human capital, natural resources, and infrastructure, to drive sustainable development. It
promotes efficient resource management and local capacity building.

TYPES OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Page | 6
There are three types of community development which are:
❖ Urban community
❖ Rural community
❖ Tribal community

❖ Urban Community:
It works on making life better in villages and countryside areas. This means helping farmers grow
more food, improving healthcare, building better roads, and bringing electricity and clean water to
rural homes.

❖ Rural Community:
It focuses on making cities and towns nicer places to live. This includes building more homes,
creating jobs, making parks and playgrounds, and improving schools and hospitals for people who
live in cities.

❖ Tribal Community:
It helps indigenous groups, like tribes or native peoples, in remote areas. This can involve protecting
their land rights, preserving their traditional ways of life and culture, improving their access to
education and healthcare, and helping them build better homes and communities.

STEPS/PHASES OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

There are four steps in community development:

 Study
 Planning
 Execution
 Evaluation

❖ Study:
Study is the first step of community development. Begin by carefully examining the
community’s needs, strengths, and challenges. This helps identify what areas need Improvement and
what resources are available to work with.

❖ Planning:
Planning is the second step of the community development. Develop a strategic plan based on the
findings of the study. This plan outlines specific goals, objectives, and actions to address identified
needs and achieve desired outcomes. It’s like creating a roadmap for the community’s future.

Page | 7
 ❖ Execution/ Implementation:
Put the plan into action by carrying out the activities outlined in the plan. This involves mobilizing
resources, coordinating efforts, and working together to make positive changes in the community.

❖ Evaluation:
Once the implementation phase is complete, the next step is to assess the outcomes and
effectiveness of the project or initiative. Evaluation involves measuring performance against
predetermined criteria, analyzing data, and gathering feedback from stakeholders to determine
whether the project goals have been achieved. This step helps in identifying strengths, weaknesses,
and areas for improvement, informing future decision-making processes, and ensuring accountability
and transparency in the development process.

APPROACHES TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

In community development, various strategies are employed by workers to address
community issues and achieve developmental goals. These strategies, collectively referred to
as approaches. Some common approaches include:
 Single Function Approach
 Multiple Approach
 Exploitive Oriented Approach
 Therapy Approach
 Process Approach

❖ Single Function Approach:

In this approach an external agent or a worker is appointed in a community for its
development and is considered one of the best methods in under developed countries.For
the external agent, who is an innovator has to play the following functions and roles in the
community: o As an agent of social change he/she diagnosis the community needs for

Page | 8
his/her services. o The community worker should be jack of all trades so that he/she could
help and guide the villagers in multiple jobs.

❖ Multiple Approach:
In multiple approach there is recognition of the wholeness of community life and a team of
experts seeks to provide a variety of services like education, recreation, medical etc to cope
with some of the problems.

❖ Therapy Approach:
This approach addresses social, emotional, and cultural aspects of community life to
facilitate healing, promote social cohesion, and address underlying issues.

❖ Process Approach:
Focusing on methods and interactions, this approach highlights community engagement,
participation, and the quality of social interactions throughout the development journey.

❖ Exploitive Oriented Approach:

This approach builds up on false hopes and false statements.One makes promises to which
he/she is not serious and sincere to overcome to meet or to fulfill.He/she just arouses
emotions of the people and motivates them to meet their needs but this motivation is based on
selfishness.

INTODUCTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE AND BAIT-ULMAAL

Definition of Social Welfare: Social welfare, According to Friedlander, ‘is the

organized system of social services and institutions, designed to aid individuals and groups to
attain satisfying standards of life and health, and personal and social relationships that permit
them to develop their full capacities and to promote their well being in harmony with the
needs of their families and the community’

History of Social Welfare: The development of Social Welfare in Pakistan has evolved
significantly since its inception in the early 1950s. In 1951, the Government of Pakistan
sought assistance from the United Nations to develop a social welfare program suitable for an
independent nation. By 1952, the first UN Social Welfare consultants arrived in Karachi,
marking a pivotal moment in the country's social welfare orientation. Recognizing the
absence of trained social workers, the consultants advised prioritizing social work training to
ensure the effective implementation of welfare projects. Following their recommendations, in
1953, the government devised a plan to initiate a structured social welfare program. Initially,
the government's role focused on:

 Providing social work training.

 Encouraging voluntary agencies.
 Sponsoring urban and rural community development projects.
Formation of National Counsil of Social Welfare(1956):

In 1956, the National Council of Social Welfare was created to support voluntary
organizations by providing financial assistance and consultative services. Provincial councils
were later formed to aid in the expansion and coordination of voluntary welfare agencies
across the provinces.
Directorate General of Social Welfare (1962-1964):
The central Directorate of Social Welfare was abolished in 1962 due to decentralization under
the new constitution. In 1964, the Directorate General of Social Welfare was established in
West Pakistan.
Integration and Separation of Departments (1996-2012):

In 1996, the Women Development segment was integrated into the Social Welfare
Department, followed by the inclusion of Bait-ul-Maal in 1998. However, in 2012, the
Women Development segment was separated again to form a distinct department, leaving the
Social Welfare and Bait-ul-Maal as a combined entity.

Page | 13
This historical trajectory highlights the ongoing efforts to adapt and expand social welfare
services in Pakistan, reflecting changing social needs and administrative reforms.
Meaning of Bait-ul-Maal:
Bait means Home and Maal means Money. Bait-ul-Maal is an Arabic term, translated as
“House of Money". Historically, it was financial institution responsible for administration of
taxes in Islamic states, particularly in the early Islamic Caliphate.
History of Bait-ul-Maal:
The concept of Bait-ul-Maal, or "House of Wealth," was first introduced by the Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) to manage the financial resources of the Muslim community. In
Pakistan, the Bait-ul-Maal was formally established in 1982 through a presidential
ordinance, with the objective of providing financial assistance to the poor, needy, and
destitute.

Bait-ul-Maal was the department responsible to dealt with the department, responsible to
dealt with the revenues and all other economic matters of the state. At the time of Prophet
Muhammad (S.A.W) there was no proper finance department or public treasury. All the
received money or revenues were distributed immediately.

But, at the time of Hazrat Umer (R.A), things changed, with the extension in the conquests of
money in larger quantities, a separate "Accounts Department" was set-up, responsible for the
maintenance of all the records of expended money.
The history of Bait ul Maal highlights its multifaceted role in Islamic governance,
encompassing financial administration and social welfare.
