Competency 3: Engage Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ADEI) in Practice
Social workers understand how racism and oppression shape human experiences and how these two constructs influence practice at the individual, family, group, organizational, and community levels and in policy and research. Social workers understand the pervasive impact of White supremacy and privilege and use their knowledge, awareness, and skills to engage in anti-racist practice. Social workers understand how diversity and intersectionality shape human experiences and identity development and affect equity and inclusion. The dimensions of diversity are understood as the intersectionality of factors including but not limited to age, caste, class, color, culture, disability and ability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, generational status, immigration status, legal status, marital status, political ideology, race, nationality, religion and spirituality, sex, sexual orientation, and tribal sovereign status. Social workers understand that this intersectionality means that a person’s life experiences may include oppression, poverty, marginalization, and alienation as well as privilege and power. Social workers understand the societal and historical roots of social and racial injustices and the forms and mechanisms of oppression and discrimination. Social workers understand cultural humility and recognize the extent to which a culture’s structures and values, including social, economic, political, racial, technological, and cultural exclusions, may create privilege and power resulting in systemic oppression. Social workers:
a. demonstrate anti-racist and anti-oppressive social work practice at the individual, family, group, organizational, community, research, and policy levels; and
b. demonstrate cultural humility by applying critical reflection, self-awareness, and self regulation to manage the influence of bias, power, privilege, and values in working with clients and constituencies, acknowledging them as experts of their own lived experiences.
Competency 3: Evidence of Practice
I have used a recommendation box as evidence used for Competency 3. It is helpful for agencies to have a safe place for employees to voice their concerns while remaining anonymous. Social workers will engage in DEI in the offices and when meeting with clients. Social workers will advocate and change policies as needed. A recommendation box is a place where employees can add their ideas for improving workplace culture. This gives team members the option to submit ideas anonymously or attach their names if they would like recognition. This would create a safe work environment where everyone has the opportunity to be seen and heard.
CertificateofCompletion (2).pdfI have used a certificate of completion as evidence used for Competency 3. Social workers should demonstrate understanding of culture and its function in human behavior and society, recognizing the strengths that exist in all cultures. Social workers should obtain education about and demonstrate understanding of the nature of social diversity and oppression. Social workers should demonstrate awareness and cultural humility by engaging in critical self-reflection, recognizing clients as experts of their own culture, committing to life- long learning, and holding institutions accountable for advancing cultural humility. The training that was a DEI: (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) Multicultural Care For The Organization. Social workers must engage with clients in a way that respects their cultural backgrounds and experiences.
