The article is dedicated to exploring key aspects of the role of social workers in shaping an inclusive society. The paper analyzes the results of leading scholars in the field of social work, such as L. Tyuptia, V. Nikolaeva, T. Semyhina, O. Vasilychenko, who define the social worker as a key participant in solving social problems and promoting social inclusion. The issues of interaction between social workers and different population groups are examined, and the principles of interaction in the "social worker – recipient of social services" system are revealed. The emphasis is placed on the formation of an inclusive culture in the field of social work, aimed at ensuring equal participation and accessibility of social services. The research identifies prospects for the development of methodology, practical aspects, educational programs, and technologies in inclusive social work. The overall goal of the work is to highlight the importance of inclusion in social work for the construction of a just and humane society
