Essential Skills for Effective Social Work Intervention

Intervention Skills According to Coulshed and Orme (1998), effective social work intervention

relies on several important skills: Partnership: The capacity to work collaboratively

with colleagues, share responsibilities, and provide constructive feedback. Negotiation: Clarifying

desired outcomes for oneself and others, while engaging in compromise or,

when needed, confrontation. Networking: Collecting and sharing information, connecting individuals,

and forming mutual support systems. Communication: Producing clear reports and expressing ideas

in simple, non-technical language both in writing and speaking. Reframing: Presenting

problems from a broader perspective and exploring alternative ways of understanding the situation.
