The chapter reflects on the possibilities and limits of social work during the COVID pandemic, with an emphasis on social workers and the most vulnerable groups of social service users, such as seniors, people with disabilities and victims of domestic violence. It describes the practice of social work as a helping profession that adopts the use of skills and theories of human behavior or social systems in mitigating and solving social problems, in connection with the role of social workers in the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter also provides examples of when social workers could not fulfill activities that contribute to the realization of the meaning and purpose of social work, i.e. to the protection of human rights and human dignity or to the promotion of social security of individuals.
