This article introduces a conceptual framework that integrates feminist ethics of care into social work practice, focusing on the complexities of informal caregiving in Hong Kong. It highlights the often-overlooked role of informal carers in social services and identifies the gaps in current practices. The authors emphasise the need for recognition and resources for carers. This effort addresses the global challenges informal carers face and promotes equitable support systems. It sets a foundation for future research at the intersection of care ethics and social work, fostering a more compassionate approach to caregiving worldwide
