Abstract
This paper discusses how social workers might put into practice anti-oppressive values in the particular area of understanding and assessing the users of their services. It begins with a critical examination of a published piece of assessment that is a good example of the type of work currently being done in social work agencies, arguing that the failure to look sufficiently at the anti-oppressive issues is a failure of the method used. It continues with a constructive series of suggestions towards an anti-oppressive method of assessment - a modification of social work practice theory that is currently being researched by the author, and derives from both theoretical considerations and practical experience.Keywords
