When a ‘Social Worker’ is NOT a Social Worker
This ethics in practice article reflects on the ethical dilemmas and tensions that emerged from a research study employing online interviews with social workers in the context of (i) how to respond to suspected Imposter Participants (ii) whether to report individuals for fraudulently posing as social workers; (iii) how to better screen for Imposter Participants whilst minimising the chance of excluding genuine participants and (iv) whether to rei…
Charting a Path for Disaster-Informed Social Work
This article documents the development of a free-to-access online social work in disasters continuing professional development (CPD) training course in England. The training is contextualized within adult learning theory and existing literature on social work training in disasters, as well as the contemporary CPD context in England. A small-scale pilot study of the training is also analyzed. The pilot found that the training course was overwhelmi…
Who asked for this? The curious case of Readiness for Professional Practice in England
This article critically analyses plans for a new Readiness for Professional Practice framework in England. The new framework is being introduced by the regulator, Social Work England, with the stated aim to promote consistency across social work qualifying programmes. The framework and the regulatory context of social work qualifying in England are first introduced, as well as the contemporary challenges facing social work educators and students.…
The Social Work Public Perception Myth
Social workers in England consistently raise concerns that the public have a negative perception of them. In contrast, when the public are asked directly about their perceptions of social workers, they tend to be relatively positive. Within this context, this research undertook a genealogy of discourse looking at government policy texts from 2003 to 2023 to better understand how and why a discourse around negative public perception of social work…
Failing to learn from teachers
This article presents a critical analysis of the Social Worker Early Career Framework in England, planned for national roll-out in September 2026 to replace the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment for children and family social workers. The Social Worker Early Career Framework is based on the existing Teacher Early Career Framework in England, launched nationally in 2021. The article argues that both the problematic experience of its counte…
Aspirational impact and independent social work podcasting in England
Left behind
Over the past ten years, fast-track social work qualifying training routes have been introduced and rapidly expanded in England. These programmes justify their existence through rhetoric that implies their students are superior to other students, and therefore require special privilege—the ‘best and brightest’. When evaluating fast-tracks, the approach taken largely ignores their broader public impact, including how they impact on the majority of…
Networks of power and counterpower in social work with children and families in England
This article applies the work of Spanish sociologist Manuel Castells to contemporary children and families’ social work in England. Castells’ work suggests that the intractability of many of the issues facing the profession is the result of the new type of society that emerged around the turn of the millennium: the network society. Within this society, the interests and values of dominant networks are imposed upon those who are selectively exclud…
A Fisher-eye lens on social work reform
Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism, published in 2009, has been recognised as one of the most important contributions chronicling the rise, application and consequences of neoliberalism. However, Fisher’s ideas have until now only garnered passing mention in the study of neoliberalism in children and families social work in England, despite there being extensive research, argument and publication on the subject more broadly. This article attempts t…
Team-based learning in social work law education
Team-based learning (TBL) as a model of teaching boasts a robust and growing evidence base, indicating that it is both preferred by students and leads to better educational outcomes. Despite this evidence base, there is limited research into the use of TBL in social work education, and no research into the use of TBL in social work law. This article presents the results of a practitioner enquiry undertaken into the use of TBL with a first-year Ma…
Why we are worried about the ‘Independent’ Review of Children’s Social Care in England – and why we think you should be too
Better together
Prospective social workers in England are increasingly being segregated into different qualification routes. While the justification for this segregation relates to either academic achievement or the vocational nature of the course, students also end up segregated based on prior advantage, personal circumstances, context and experience. This article examines the three main routes into contemporary social work in England: fast-track training progr…
Dismantling the Blueprint
November 2019 saw the release of A Blueprint for Children's Social Care (hereafter the Blueprint) in England. The Blueprint proposes introducing the Buurtzorg model of community nursing into the child protection social work in England, and received widespread interest and publicity. Buurtzorg is a Dutch community nursing agency that is based on a specific model of small self-managing and non-hierarchal teams. The authors of the Blueprint suggest …

The ‘quality’ of social work students in England
Students entering university-based social work qualifying education are increasingly constructed in policy as lacking in quality. This article presents a genealogy of discourse examining major reports and policy documents in England from 2002 to 2018 in order to understand how the dominant discourse around these students has changed since the introduction of the social work degree as the minimum qualification for practice. Key findings from the g…
The best and the brightest’
Social work education in England has a long track record of success in widening participation to disadvantaged student populations. However, more recently these successes have instead been cast as a burden that is negatively impacting on the calibre of students entering the profession. Alongside this reconceptualisation, new fast-track models of education have been introduced, providing a quicker and more financially supported a route of entry to…
