Working like the police is not what we need from social workers. We need a perspective that excludes social stratification, and focuses on educating parents.

This is very true of the situation in Ghana,some of our districts,social welfare department undet the district assembly is even locked,last year when i went to Bimbilla to do my attachment as a social work student,i went to the district assembly and the office was locked when i asked about it i was told that the social worker there has passed away and because the is not well recognised they dont bother getting a new social worker,as im talking now,there is no one occupying the office.Government has to work hard to recognise the role of social workers in Ghana.
