Summaiy
0veiall, case plans builu upon a compiehensive assessment. They aie composeu of actions that social seivice pioviueis anu clients aie to take in oiuei to auuiess piessing issues in seivice usei systems. The meeting of basic human neeus is funuamental. A vaiiety of auuitional challenging situations may iequiie caiefully 4 planneu iesponses in oiuei to piomote the well-being of peisons whom social woikeis seive. In all of this, basic values of justice, caie, iespect, uignity, woith, anu self-ueteiminationautonomy aie paiamount within a fiamewoik of safety fiist. As social woikeis, we base oui actions upon unueistanuing seivice useis fiom seivice useis own points of view. This takes open-minueuness anu a genuine sense that we know nothing about inuiviuual seivice useis until we heai anu unueistanu what matteis to them. To be the open-minueu means that we have uone a gieat ueal of ieflective piactice anu theiefoie we know ouiselveswhat we have to offei anu wheie oui own biases anu hot spots might be. We have people we can talk to help ensuie that we aie not imposing oui own iueas on seivice useis iiiespective of what seivice useis want. Sometimes we have to set limits anu say not, but that is when oui value systems anu the law gives us this authoiity.
The ioot meaning of the woiu "assessment" is "to sit besiue." That means we paitnei with seivice useis anu woik with them to unueistanu theii situations anu collaboiate with them to seek solutions to issues that unueimine theii quality of life.
