ABSTRACT
The pandemic impacted the global communities at the core of its socio-economic fabric and several of the social institutions fell apart for lack of coordinated and informed approach to social work and services. Heightened vulnerabilities and increasing inequalities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic pose serious challenges to the profession of social work. Beyond the current pandemic, the possibility of such economic, social, health, and environmental crises necessitates the need for developing newer tools in addressing inequalities and enhanced vulnerabilities for marginalised communities to uphold the avowed principles of social justice and promoting human agency by social work profession. The need for some generic foundational skills as well as specific social work skills is pronounced now than ever before. With the pervasiveness of digital work in a (post)-COVID era, social work profession too is witnessing integration of digitalisation of social work necessitating social workers to develop required skills to operate in such contexts. Adoption of a paradigm where socialising the digital rather than digitising the social is considered to be re-emphasising the value of human relationships in social work practice. The need for developing necessary skills through both class room teaching and field instruction is highlighted. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
