Meaning in hoarding: Perspectives of People Who Hoard on Clutter, Culture and Agency
Hoarding has become increasingly prominent in clinical practice and popular culture in recent years, giving rise to extensive research and commentary. Critical responses in the social sciences have criticised the cultural assumptions built in to the construct of 'hoarding disorder' and expressed fears that it may generate stigma outweighing its benefits; however, few of these studies have engaged directly with 'hoarders' themselves. This paper re…
Autonomy and Protection in Self-neglect Work: The Ethical Complexity of Decision-making
Self-neglect, in which an individual does not attend to their hygiene, health or home surroundings, is one of the most challenging aspects of adult social care practice. In England, its inclusion within the remit of adult safeguarding, as a result of changes in adult social care law introduced under the Care Act 2014, has thrown into relief the ethical dilemmas arising from tensions between respect for autonomy on the one hand and the exercise of…

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse in detail the findings from 40 serious case reviews (SCRs) involving adults who self-neglect, and to consider the commissioning and reporting of such inquiries in the context of accountability that also involves the Coroner and the Local Government Ombudsman. Design/methodology/approach – This study comprised a cross-case analysis of 32 SCRs, using a four-layer design of the adult and their living…

A four layer analysis is presented of …

Young fathers took a lead role in developing the content of, and conducting, interviews with peer participants. Drawing on an analytical framework derived from participatory research literature, this article provides an analysis of five critical processes that created intense debate and becam…

Paid, Professionalised and Proceduralised: Can Legal and Policy Frameworks for Child Advocacy Give Voice to Children and Young People
Significant developments have taken place over recent years in the legal and policy framework for children's participation in decision‐making and the role of advocacy within this context. Whilst there is much here to be welcomed, there are also emerging concerns about the nature and direction of advocacy for children and young people in public care. This paper draws on evidence from an empirical study of children's participation in statutory revi…
The role of law in welfare reform: Critical perspectives on the relationship between law and social work practice
This article considers the complex relationships between law, welfare policy and social work practice, in order to address the question of what role legal frameworks might play in achieving welfare policy and professional practice goals. It traces how law has developed as a core component of professional practice, and challenges some of the false expectations placed upon it. It then draws on findings from an international knowledge review of law …
Broadening the vision: Law teaching, social work and civil society
English In the context of debates about social work’s relationship with individuals, the state and civil society, educators face a challenge. How best to ensure that professional education prepares practitioners to engage with the task of promoting social justice and human rights? This article draws on a systematic knowledge review of learning, teaching and assessment of one key subject area in social work education - that of law - to explore the…
Emerging from out of the shadows? Service user and carer involvement in systematic reviews
English The systematic review methodology literature refers to the importance of involving stakeholders, including service users and carers, in the research. However, compared with other aspects of the methodology, this aspect of conducting systematic reviews is underdeveloped and the practice of involvement appears highly variable. This article draws on the experience of working with service users and carers in one systematic review to review th…
Accountability, administrative law and social work practice: Redressing or reinforcing the power imbalance
Accountability in social care services involves a complex web of obligations to different stakeholders whose demands are not necessarily compatible. This article locates administrative law within the range of mechanisms for ensuring accountability, and evaluates its contribution. It is argued that, in the current policy context, some forms of accountability are promoted over others, and that accountabilities to service users and to professional c…
Partners in community care? Rethinking the relationship between the law and social work practice
The relationship between law and social work practice is complex and confusing. Attempts to define it have identified stereotypical assumptions and divergent purposes. Recent community care legislation, however, in speaking the language of partnership and empowerment, has resonated with the current concerns of professional social work and thus has opened the way for further exploration. This article takes as a starting point two of the major chal…
Honourable intentions: Partnership and written agreements in welfare legislation
Written agreements between service providers and service users are a central feature of new social welfare legislation. This article locates them within the ideology of partnership, examines the problematic expectations of their usefulness, and offers key principles for their appropriate location in the relationship between the state and its citizens
Managing the personal experience of work
Social work is stressful. Practice dilemmas leave those who work in welfare organisations vulnerable to public censure and misunderstanding; struggling to connect theories of ideal practice with agency-based realities; and responsible for acting on judgements of need which can never eliminate risk and only rarely satisfy all the parties involved. Practitioners, managers and their organisations, in order to cope with the anxiety engendered by thei…
