Social work is what we do with people, not to them is one of the lessons I learned from my first placement as a social work student, and that wisdom has stayed with me throughout my career.
What we need to be clear about is that evaluation processes need to be undertaken in partnership as far as possible - that is, they are mainly what we do with the people we serve and support, rather than to them or about them.

Client Involvement in Research
사회사업 조사에 클라이언트가 참여하게 합니다.
전문가가 “objectively” 클라이언트를 '대상으로' 하는 조사와 평가가 특히 위험합니다.
Within the domain of social work research and practice evaluation, the effect of professionals “objectively” studying clients can be particularly insidious, as research and evaluation done on rather than with people creates an exclusive base of knowledge that privileges the views and values of expert professionals.
클라이언트가 조사 문항을 통제했는가?
조사를 설계하고 실행하는 데 참여했는가? 아니면 조사 대상이었을 뿐인가?
Did participants have any control of research questions? Did they work as partners in research design and delivery or merely function as subjects of someone else’s study?
질적 조사든 양적 조사든
조사의 설계와 실행에 클라이언트가 어떤 역할을 했는지 따져 보아야 합니다.
Both qualitative and quantitative research have extensive benefits, but justice-oriented social workers examine both research design and implementation to determine what roles clients played.
