Feedback: Iatridis (2008) states that all social workers "should understand and
analyze the effects of social policy decisions on clients. Consequently, they
should participate in the formulation and modification of social policy, being
active at multiple social policy levels, including the personal, the organizational,
the community, and the legislative." We refer to this aspect of social work as
policy–practice.
