- 6. Process of SocialWork ■ The social work process comprises a sequence of actions or tasks that draw on all of the components of practice discussed so far. ■ Although its process is presented sequentially, it rarely follows a clear linear route and is more often a fluid, circular cycle whereby workers move from assessment through to implementation and evaluation and back to assessment again. ■ Despite this fluidity, some parts of the process, such as assessment, have clearly defined procedures guided by local or national policy. ■ Some tasks may be fairly short and discrete, but many are longer term and more complex, such as assessments. You will also find that tasks often overlap and are revisited over a period of involvement with a service user. Dr. Saravana K, Kuvempu University
