The social work profession has always been at the frontline of several of the most interesting and innovative ideas in anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive practices because of anti-discriminatory practice being of crucial importance in social work education and practice. The term ‘anti-discriminatory practice’ is regularly used when describing forms of practice that dispute the challenges of discrimination and oppression.
