If you were Carla, what would you do after this last meeting with the Head Start caseworker? How is your opinion affected by (1) knowledge that Head Start caseworkers may not be social workers and may not be subject to the NASW Code of Ethics? (2) the fact that the nature of Carla’s job is direct practice and not macro advocacy? or (3) your own ethnicity or life experiences and your experiences with immigrants?

Carla Hudson, a Black social worker with the Women’s Resource Center (WRC), had worked with Maria Velasquez, a Mexican immigrant and mother of two children, for several years as she struggled to escape a violent home situation. Maria was Carla’s first Spanish-speaking client. Maria’s spoken English was easily understandable, but she could not read or write English well. As Carla assisted Maria in acquiring mainstream services, including Head Start, TANF, Food Stamps, and WIC, she noticed barriers to services that she began to suspect were related to discrimination against Spanish-speaking clients. When two White Head Start caseworkers refused to help Maria attain educational support that she needed in order to gain English literacy, Carla faced the challenge of addressing discrimination issues in another agency and perhaps throughout the service delivery system in Jasper, Alabama.
