Overberg Education District School Social Work Team

Overberg Education District School Social Work Team

Western Cape Education Department

A well organized, approachable, knowledgeable, and professional team implementing service successfully. The social workers on this team benefit from a strong ethical supervisor who believes in situational leadership. The team shares a guiding principle of placing their clients at the centre of their development and growth, even when faced with challenges. The commitment to service is deeply rooted in the team's ethos, and they embrace the concept of exit to serve, recognizing the transformative impact they can have on their clients. 

The emphasis is on fostering an environment where beneficiaries not only receive assistance but actively participate in their own development. We recognize that empowerment involves more than just providing solutions; it involves instilling confidence, self-determination, and a sense of responsibility in everyone we serve.
