The values that guide our work
The Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work is guided by the following core values.
We believe individuals, families, and communities have a right to live in environments that promote safety, health, well-being and full participation in society.
We value rigorous research as a foundation for evidence-based advancements in policy, advocacy and practice.
We honour diverse perspectives, including Indigenous and decolonized ways of knowing, as essential to the creation of knowledge.
We are committed to collaboration with client communities and the integration of knowledge gained from lived experience in all aspects of our work.
We recognize the importance of fostering local, global, and interdisciplinary partnerships to address complex social issues.
