Welfare Policies and Services I
Introduction to Social Welfare Policy and
Services
PURPOSE:
This foundation level course furnishes students
with the orienting knowledge and skills
needed to examine social welfare policies
and to understand their relevance to social
service delivery and social work practice.
Drawing on liberal arts knowledge, Social
Welfare Policy and Services I contextualizes
social welfare policy and the social work
profession, historically, conceptually,
and ideologically. The course develops knowledge
about family life, the market economy, government
policies and other social structures that
may or may not reflect social work values,
promote social and economic justice or otherwise
meet basic human needs. Students become
familiar with basic issues, concepts, values,
terminology, frameworks, and ethical issues
that define social welfare policy and that
influence their ability to work with diverse
groups and populations at risk. Social welfare
policy’s contribution to both oppression
and social justice and the role of social
work in social change are also addressed.

PERSPECTIVES
Compares and contrasts major social welfare
policy thought that has influenced both
the definition of social problems and social
welfare policies selected to address them.
Introduces criteria used to distinguish
between these perspectives such as their
competing views regarding human nature,
the family, the market economy, the role
of government intervention, and the process
of social change among others. Encourages
students to locate their own ideological
voice and to identify that of others.

THE SOCIAL SERVICE SYSTEM AND THE DELIVERY
OF SERVICES
Identifies the organization, structure and
operation of the social welfare system;
describes major entitlement and services,
including public, non-profit, and for-profit
programs, and reviews the role of federal,
state, and local governments in social welfare
policy. Introduces key concepts for analyzing
social welfare policy such as universal
vs. selective, institutional vs. residual,
mandatory vs. discretionary spending, deserving
vs. undeserving poor, adequacy vs. equity,
equality of opportunity vs. equality of
result, oppression vs. social justice. Discusses
who benefits and who loses from social welfare
policy and the capacity of social welfare
programs to meet the needs of diverse group
and populations at risk.

POVERTY, OPPRESSION, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
Explores questions of poverty, inequality
and social justice. Identifies ways of measuring
poverty; the impact of poverty on the lives
of individuals, families, communities; the
differential exposure of special populations
to economic deprivation, discrimination,
and institutionalized oppression; government
efforts to address poverty and oppression
and to promote social, economic and political
justice. Reviews various theories on the
causes of poverty and inequality in light
of the ideological frameworks previously
discussed and the needs of special populations.

VI. DIVERSITY, POPULATIONS AT RISK
AND SPECIAL ISSUES
Focuses on the role of social welfare policy
in addressing the needs and experiences
of diverse groups in the population, the
capacity of social policy and social services
to create and/or to ameliorate the impact
of discrimination powerlessness, marginalization,
inequality, and other manifestations of
institutionalized oppression. Special attention
is paid to the ways in which the "isms"
especially, racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism
shape the needs of special populations,
the structure, and the impact of social
services, the work of social workers, and
the quality of life of social welfare clients.
