Social work is an important profession that helps in enhancing human well-being and
in assisting people to meet basic and complex needs. This type of profession is vital in society as
it focuses on assisting the vulnerable, oppressed, and people living in poverty. In other words,
social work focuses on promoting social justice, respect, and dignity of an individual and
recognizing the importance of human association while maintaining integrity and competence.
Other than social work, The United Kingdom utilizes social care that is meant to fund individuals

(Fook, 2022). This case study focuses on understanding the call knowledge shared between
social care and social work services, provides theoretical concepts and values that underpin the
