Exploring the Role of Social Workers in Addressing Domestic Violence: Challenges and Best Practices

Abstract

Intimate partner violence is still a major social concern that concerns everyone across all classes of the population and thus calls for social workers to support and speak for the victims. _specifying the position of social workers in relation to dv, as well as the difficulties of intervention and practices that facilitate intervention success, is the focus of this paper. In a conceptual paper, this study establishes that there are several limitations to interventions in cases of child sexual abuse, which include: insufficient material support, legal factors, cultural prejudices. Additionally, it demonstrates state-of-the-art practices such as serving diverse populations using trauma-informed care and enhancing partnerships between the legal and health care industries while serving survivors in culturally preferable ways that foster sustainable recovery. The paper thus calls for calls for professional development, co-operation and these policy reforms in a bid to enhance the capability of social workers in the fight against domestic violence. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the community’s significance of social work’s response to domestic violence to ensure survivors’ safety.
