this could vary depending on the client group- but people could say that you touched so many people, helped the vulnerable - the world was a better place for having you.
however this is unlikely as social workers are often despised

A social worker is like the "mom" of society. The best thing is to "be there." I.e., don't be "leaving behind" a legacy. If you want to be effective, live today. Show the people that you're helping a well-balanced life, and the joy that you have will end up being the best thing that you shared.

An abused child trusting again.
A single child walking the street that would have been aborted.due to lack of options
A person not sectioned as mentally ill when just upset and distraught.
A family succesfully reunited after a prisoner is released.
A refugee torture victim settled and psychologically safe,.
An older person living at home rather than in an institution.
A person with learning difficulties living a personally fulfilling life.
One instance of any of these and a whole career has been worthwhile. Legacies are unknown thats good enough.

Hopefully not a big caseload of unfinished work.
Surely social workers are supposed to work and act in the present the here and now, it is therefore not in the nature of the job to leave something behind.
They merely intervene or step in when requested to assess a situation on behalf of the social services.
If the thought of a legacy makes them enjoy their job then I guess.....the legacy of intervening.

my sister is a social worker and from listening to her talk i feel she would like to change attitudes towards the children and staff i know a big bug bear for her is that staff are constantly told to treat children in the homes as if you were dealing with your own children and yet when this is practised she is then questioned and judged for this and she finds herself constantly defending herself, often finds herself in debates with other staff. So i guess on her behalf i would say that she would like to think that children in homes were really being dealt with like they were truely in their own homes. Very idealistic but i know she does her best.

the fact that social workers covered up the abuse in children's homes is a legacy of oppression
