What is it that social workers actually do?
What is social work supposed to be trying to achieve - and how should we go about it?
What ideas or theories do in fact - or should - underlie social work practice?
On what basis should - or do - social workers make decisions about how to respond to different situations?
What techniques are available to social workers?
How does social work relate to other professional groups who may work with the same service users?
How do social work values relate to theory and practice?
