Which one of the following is not a principle of Social Work ?

  • A.Principle of Confidentiality
  • B.Principle of Accountability
  • C.Principle of Assimilation
  • D.Principle of Objectivity

Answer: C

The one that is not a principle of social work is the Principle of Assimilation.

Assimilation is a sociological process in which a minority group is absorbed into the dominant culture and loses its distinct identity. Social work does not aim at that: it respects the client's own culture and individuality.

Confidentiality (protecting what the client shares), accountability (answering to clients, agency and profession for one's practice) and objectivity (not letting personal bias colour judgement) are all standard principles of professional social work, so options A, B and D are genuine principles.
