University Report: Social Inclusion in Community Services (INT101)

This report provides a comprehensive overview of social inclusion within the context of community services. It begins with a clear definition of social inclusion, drawing from various sources including the Australian Social Inclusion Board and UNESCO. The report then highlights significant historical events that have shaped the understanding and implementation of social inclusion, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and the Australian Human Rights Commission review in 2010. Furthermore, it outlines the principles underlying the code of ethics for the Australian community workers association, emphasizing equality and the right to social inclusion. The report also details the objectives of social inclusion, including access to resources and services, active participation, and the cessation of discrimination. The report is well-referenced, citing scholarly articles that support the concepts presented. This report fulfills the requirements of the INT101 Introduction to Community Services assessment, focusing on one of the core values and principles underpinning community work in Australia.
