dc.description.abstractINTRODUCTION: Society's prevailing ideology – whether it is focused largely on personal troubles or public issues or somewhere in-between – is mirrored in the priorities of social work and its methodologies. This paper reflects on the priorities of social work in terms of global risk issues and community education as a methodology. The mission of social work has always included a people-focused development philosophy that is proactive and preventative in its approach to addressing present and anticipated. This people-focused development philosophy is based on the assumption that all people should have access to goods, services, opportunities, decision-making processes and. In such a context, it follows that there will always be a common educational component in social work, since education in some or other form will occur when information is offered to communities.en_ZA
