A call for the international adoption of the Casework Effectiveness Scale (CES-10)

Social casework is one of the primary methods of social work aimed at helping individuals. Despite its central role in social work, over the years, there have been studies that have questioned its effectiveness. In order to fill this existing gap, the Casework Effectiveness Scale has been developed. The present work highlights the need for the international adoption of this scale through translations and validation studies across various cultures and countries. It is further hoped that the scale will encourage social work practitioners to ensure that their intervention strategies are evidence-based, as encouraged by the International Federation of Social Workers.
