A Worldview of Social Work in Contemporary Society: My tacit knowledge of Social Work Practice

Abstract

This paper will look at the intricate design of Modern Day Social Work and look at Māori philosophy as a methodologic approach to Social Work Practice specifically in my model of practice Te Manu Tui and as a social worker and supervisor. I will also look at my own beliefs, worldview and whakapapa and how I have positioned myself to align and apply Kaupapa Māori Theory in today’s modern social work practice.
