CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Social welfare, according to Friend Lander (1976), is
organized system of social services and substitutions, designed to aid
individuals and groups to attain satisfying standard of life and health, and
personal and social relationship that permit them to develop their full
capacities and to promote their well-being in harmony with the needs at their
families and the community. Example of areas in which the social services are
found like hospital, education, police station, the social welfare it focused
to address the problems faced the society. In which the people need for counselling
in order to address their problems faced them. Also social welfare is the
provision of minimal level of wellbeing, and social support for citizens
without current means to support basic needs sometimes referred to as public aid.
In most developed countries, welfare is largely provided by the government from
tax income and to a leaser extent by charities, informal social group, religion
groups and later governmental organizations. The welfare state expended on this
concept to include services such as universal health care and unemployment
balance.
According to
my research, my work have been divided into five aspects such:- first ask for
social services provided, second how are the services provided to the
beneficence, third the challenges that the employee in the office are encounting,
fourthly the possible plan in place to address the challenges, five what have
you learn generally the future social welfare citizen, according to my research
I have visited police station called Mabibo External and I go direct to ask
them for social service provided at that station as show bellows:-
CHAPTER TWO
SERVICE PROVIDED
Gender equality maintenance in Tanzania society still
have same people who totally believed in gender superiority so in that society
welfare office with their good at implementing equality they much help who are
unequally treated because of their gender especially women, since there have
been equal treatment in both men and won in all aspects at life.
Employment training
and youth development in implementing national policy at youth also much
consideration at this social welfare just to provide some employment strategic
personally, also many people are trained in different employment activating
such agricultural training in which the professional at social worker are
trained the youth about on how the youth can the chance in Agriculture
activities.
Health
service aid, this the services provided in health centre like hospital, the
social welfare also is provided in health services in which many of people have
been provided in different organization, such as in police station, education
and in health centre. All ofthis social welfare has been provided such health
service to each at the people who need health counselling.
Police
research, among the employment as function at social work office is doing short
and long research when necessary, this because in the societies there is persistence
of some secret problem which take along at time to be solved that why police
station under department of social work some difficult problem that required to
long time since need to look concerned problem and looking how differ scholar
applied some theory in solving such problem again.
Education
services, this is the services provided in social welfare like in police
station education and health centre, the issue of education have been provide to
the youth about their life because many of youth are not aware or have no
direction oflife. So through the presence of that social welfare the
professional of social worker tries much to educate youth about their life and
their future life.
CHAPTER THREE
HOW ARE THE SERVICE PROVIDED TO THE BENEFICES
How as the service provide to the Beneficial’s. In my
work also I observed about how the social services are provided to the client
as shown bellow:-
Through counselling
individual, family, group and organization, also social service are provided
through counselling to the problem faced
individuals, family and groups such as family conflict, like divorce which
nowday, as a big problem faced the society and theways to address that
problems. So due to the presence of social welfare like police station the
officer have use their experience to counselling the faced of that problem like provide them ways to handle their family such as to avoid
family, conflict and make sure the existence of peace in that family.
Helping
people who are struggling with some aspects of life, these are the people who
have no direction of life or future life so due to the presence many social
welfare like police station, health service, the welfare tries to helping that
people about how they can do inorder to achieve better life through working
hard in engaging in different activities like agriculture fishing activities so
it through the presence at these social welfare, it contribute much to make
those people who have no direction at life to have direction and future life.
Through
cooperation with others organization such as court, these are organization who
work together with other cooperation in order to achieve the goals with other
organization. This also have been provided by social welfare like health centre,
police station and education, these organization are worked together inorder to
make sure that all problems faced the individuals, family and groups have the
ways to address to each of the organizations so that the majority can go to any
social welfare and to get better service.
Through
redressing social injustices, this also have been provided to any social
welfare found in the society in which the professional social worker tries much
to redress a lot ofproblems faced the majority such as family problem,
discrimination in which nowdays have been a strong problems in our societies.
So through that the citizen tries to show on how that problem can be solved
through maintaining the peace in family.
CHAPTER FOUR
CHALLENGE THAT THE EMPLOYEE IN THE OFFICE ARE ENCOUNTED
The challenges that the employees in the office are encounting,
according to my research done at Mabibo external apart from to ask them about the services providing but
also I tries to ask them about the
challenges faced when they serviced the majority as showing below:-
Low wages,
this is among the challenge faced the professional of social worker in
different organization such as health centre, education and police station they
work hard as their professional of social workers but they received low wages compared to what they do every day. This makes
them to work without their willingness from their soul, so in order to make
them to have willingness to work the government should increase wages to them.
Poor working
condition, refer to the condition which is not suitable to work to any people,
this also have been faced many of station or social welfare in our society. Its
few of them have at least good working condition which can cause the professional
of social worker to work with their willingness from the heart. Example, in
police station found at villages they have poor working condition which make
the provision of services to be poor to office and make them to migrate to
urban in which there is at least good working condition.
Long working
how, this also faced many of social welfare in which the officer they work in
many hours which make them to be tired for long time, example in police station
the professional of social worker they work from morning to night, so this have
make them toloose some experience at working, so inorder to make them to work hard
the government should be reduce the time of working to any social welfare
station such as police station, health centre and education.
White colour
crime, refer to the situation of violating of law according to being in high
position, this also the challenge faced many social welfare like police station education
and health centre many of leaders they violate the law, due to being in high
position. Example, in police station there professional of social workers who
are in high position they tries to violate the rule ofthat office. So the
government should make sure each one should respect the law become no one is
above the law.
Lack of
passion for the job, this also the challenge faced many of social welfare in
any society because there some people didn’thave the love of their work because
they have no passion of their work, its due to the poverty who make them to be
in such kind of work. So inorder to avoid it the government should train any
people who want to be someone.
CHAPTER FIVE
THE POSSIBLE PLAN TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES
The possible plan in place to address the challenges,
apart from the challenges faced the social welfare but also I cooperate with
them to the possible plan in place to address the challenges faced at Mabibo
external police station as showing below:-
Provide so
many salaries, this is the situation of increase the salary to the employee
according to their effort done to their work, this can make the employee to
work with their effort due to the receiving the better salaries. So the
government of Tanzania should make sure they increase the salaries to all
professional of social workers in order to make them work without any forces
from the leaders or government.
Increasing
and making conduciveof the environment, this means the improvement of working
condition to any social welfare, example in police station, education and
health centre especially in villages in which many of social welfare have been
faced with poor working condition its only in urban in which there is at least
good working condition which can make the professional or social worker to work
with her or his efforts.
Provided the
basic education to the beneficences, also the provision of education can be the
best ways of addressing the challenges faced social welfare, the education
should be provided in each of social welfare such as education, health centre
and police station about on how to provided the services need and the ways to
make the faced problem such as long working hours.
Clear
implementation of national constitution, this also can be the best way to address
the challenges faced many of social welfare each of social welfare should respect
the nation constitution which state that no one is above the law this can make
the white colour crime to be in the normal situation rather than violation of
the law according to their position, this will make any social welfare to be in
a good condition.
Provided
many workers as much as possible, this is happened due to the shortage of
labourin many of social welfare which make each social welfare to have long
working hours so the government supposed to employee many labours in order to
reduce long working hours in each social welfare example in police station
there is much shortage of labour even in health centre have been experienced
with shortage of labours.
CHAPTER SIX
LESSON LEARNED
What have you learnt generally as the future social
welfare officer in our field was showing what have learnt as the future social
welfare officer in my field I learn main of things as follows:-
Education is
a first means for society to grasp, in each of social welfare education should
be provided because some of people are not aware of the problems faced the
social welfares such as social injustice and discrimination, so through
provision of education it can make the people to be aware about that problems
and its way to address that problems faced each of social
welfare.
There is
need of having so many social welfare offices per all human organization
plongness of many case especially in Mabiboexternal police station in which
there is a few, social welfare offices which make them to work in long working
hours. So, the government should be increase social welfare office in order to
avoid long working hours to each of social welfare.
Any social
workers is supposed to be empathetic means to feel sarrow or pity about, someone
and putting in his or her in conducting this field the challenges which social
workers encounter they meet with the different people that why when empathetic
is exactly maintained will make case to be well solved and guided that is to
say where social worker lack this skills of being empathetic.
Social
mobility is important notes towards implementation of social work service,
there should be chain between social worker and other office’s and also social
workers among themselves since in case managing when cooperation is less will
make such case to take long time.
CONCLUSION
Generally, I wouldlike to say that social welfare is
important agent for social wellbeing. A major concern on any my field was in
Mabibo external police station but social welfare is found in any human
organization, these including hospital courts school prison and orphanage camp.
These are all needed social worker to be included on driving their service
schools moreover in some organization like college; there are no social workers
almost all schools and colleges so it is time for government now to employ
social workers in all human or organization.
