SOCIAL WORK OPPORTUNITY IN SEDIBENG, VANDERBIJLPARK & Maatskaplike werk geleentheid by pleeghuis te Rustenburg

This webinar equips statutory social workers with the theoretical knowledge, self-awareness, and practical skills needed to work sensitively and effectively across South Africa’s diverse cultural, linguistic, and belief systems. Grounded in established models of cultural competence, cultural humility, and cultural safety, and framed within South Africa’s constitutional and statutory obligations, the webinar explores how a worker’s own cultural lens can shape assessment, decision-making, and intervention in statutory practice.
