RESPONSE TO PEER POSTS NEEDED

Social workers have the ability to assess their own performance and interactions with clients using a method called practice assessment. This entails using quantitative and qualitative metrics to evaluate if the services have attained the intended result. Engaging in practice assessment allows social workers to improve their skills by identifying the most effective approaches for various client circumstances and personality types they encounter. Within the field of social work, there are several categories of assessments. However, I will specifically address two: result evaluation and process evaluation. An outcome evaluation is a specific sort of assessment that aims to determine if a program has successfully attained its targeted objectives. It entails evaluating the observable modifications, whether deliberate or accidental, that happened as a result of the program or intervention. This facilitates comprehension of the effects of practices on individual clients or client systems. Process evaluation is a kind of assessment that specifically examines the execution and implementation of a program or intervention. The evaluation process analyzes the inputs, outputs, and the program itself to assess its execution quality. This facilitates the identification of areas for improvement in the provision of services. Supervision is of paramount importance in the field of social work. Its purpose is to safeguard the interests of clients, provide assistance to practitioners, and guarantee that skilled social workers perform services that meet professional standards and maintain high quality. Supervision include discussing the personal effect of the job on the social worker and examining the process of decision-making. Practitioners’ well-being, professional growth, and managerial supervision are crucial. Supervision plays a crucial role in enabling social workers to get optimal results for their clients.

Discussion 16 (200 words)
Do you feel social workers should have a procedure for terminating services with clients? How soon should the termination process begin?
RESPONSE TO PEER POSTS NEEDED
Vanessa Navarro (150 words)
Indeed, within the realm of social work, there is a consensus that a methodical process should be in place for concluding services with clients. The process of termination is a crucial aspect of the relationship between a social worker and a client, and it aligns with the ethical values of self-determination, autonomy, and respect. The termination procedure should ideally commence after the client’s objectives have been achieved. The designated time for work has ended.
The customer has withdrawn their interest in further continuation. However, termination might occur for other reasons, such as when the client’s mental health requirements surpass the social worker’s professional knowledge and skills. The therapist is unable or unable, due to valid reasons, to continue providing therapy when a conflict of interest is discovered after treatment has begun. The customer demonstrates insufficient advancement towards treatment objectives or does not adhere to therapy suggestions.
The client exhibits a lack of engagement in treatment. Therapists are advised to have a last session with their clients to assess the overall development before concluding treatment. However, there are instances where this is not possible, such as when the client ceases communication with the therapist. Obtaining informed consent is crucial in the interaction between a social worker and a client, and the process of terminating the relationship should be addressed during the first informed consent procedure. This enables the client to comprehend the specific conditions under which they will be involved in the professional relationship and to establish practical expectations. Additionally, it is incumbent upon us to exercise duty of care towards our customers.
