The role of a social worker is to provide support for clients to help themselves. Social workers maintain very close relationship with the client as a guide and advocate. Social workers work in different types of environment such as aiding individuals, families, home and schools. Social workers can work in both law-related and non-law-related roles. In a law-related position a social worker's role is to stick to the laws that exist to protect the capable of being hurt clients that they work with. Social workers have a duty to obey the laws (and law making) and a power to enforce it. In non-law-related roles social workers still work with an almost the same client group but are not specifically responsible for enforcing the law. Social workers in non-law-related roles are often employed in the part and area or in specialist roles such as supporting alcohol and drug users, person without a home and people with mental health
