Ageing and the Crisis in Health and Social Care: Global and National Perspectives, Bethany Simmonds
What will social work practitioners and students gain from this sociological text? Mainly, a useful account of the current analysis within critical social gerontology of the impact on health and social care services of global changes in economic and political thinking about ageing. Social care is de-centred, social work even more so; neither concept is indexed. While the thinking and some of the information may be of interest, therefore, the pers…

Social Work Education
A Beginner's Guide to Critical Thinking and Writing in Health and Social Care, 2nd edn
I want to start with a paragraph of warning, especially to students. Although it has its merits, this book is written by and for nurses. You would have thought that, if the authors (or perhaps it was their publishers) were going to add ‘and social care’ to the title, they would have taken their own advice and, at least as a precaution against the kind of review this is going to be, carried out a simple computer-based literature search using the t…

Citizenship Social Work with Older People
Social work and social care services should treat older people as citizens with the same humanity and rights as every other citizen. That means services of all kinds engaging older people in a fulfilling, creative life in the mainstream of each community. Informed by a wide international literature, Malcolm Payne, a leading social work author, develops a critical and creative social work practice focused on social inclusion to achieve a high qual…

Children and young people in hospitals: Doing youth work in medical settings
Young people in hospitals face a range of challenging issues. Many have chronic conditions and experience stigmatisation, anxiety and family conflict. They may also experience social isolation in hospitals, separation from local peer groups and sources of support, and separation from trusted carers during transition to adult care. These issues can require careful handling. However, there is evidence that clinical staff often do not communicate ef…

Developments in end-of-life and palliative care social work: International issues
English Palliative care social work has developed primarily as a specialist health-related form of clinical social work. However, the resource-intensive modernist medicalized practice of Western countries has been culturally inappropriate elsewhere. Broader end-of-life care and community education outside healthcare settings offers opportunities to develop palliative care social work in the direction of social development practice. French Le trav…
Empowering Carers to Reconstruct their Finances
This paper reports a welfare rights intervention for carers of dying people through seminars to help them organise family finances to deal with additional costs of the final illness, funeral costs and reconstruction of family finances after death. Seminars on financial affairs were provided to 103 carers and service users, and were evaluated by questionnaires. The seminars were very positively received by attenders, who felt better informed, but …
St Christopher's and the Future
The founding vision of St Christopher's Hospice was based on a recognition that permeating mainstream health care services would be essential and an emphasis on an adaptable philosophy rather than a building. Today, demographic and disease related changes mean that need and demand for end-of-life care will inevitably outstrip professional and financial resource. Hospices must engage with the development of cost-effective models of service deliver…
Performing as a ‘wise person’ in social work practice
Analysis of a case study using Pawson et al.'s (2003 Pawson, R., Boaz, A., Grayson, L., Long, A. and Barnes, C. 2003. Types and quality of knowledge in social care, London: SCIE. [Google Scholar]) typology of knowledge in social work practice shows that different types of knowledge may be used in different phases in an interaction, the informal use of researched knowledge, knowledge derived from the practitioner and agency, acceptance of the work…
Distance education and international social work education: Fjernundervisning og sosionomutdanning i internasjonalt perspektiv
As a result of the development of new communication technology, distance education has become a rapidly growing area over the last few decades. Market and commercial pressures are major factors in its developing impact. Distance education has also been applied to social work education. Because it is a small field it may be both positively and negatively affected. Social work education requires face-to-face communication training. Educators need t…
Essential Theory for Social Work Practice - By Chris Beckett: Book reviews
International Social Work Research and Health Inequalities
Although social work's ethical commitment to social justice suggests that it would have a strong role in responding to health inequalities, it is argued that this has not been fulfilled because social work has had a varying role in national welfare regimes. This has led to a focus in international research on comparative studies of service organisation rather than interventions, because social work has a complex relationship with healthcare, whic…
The Post-Modern Student: Piloting Through Uncertainty
The differences between present-day post-modern students and educators from older generations require changes in educational approach, but also challenge post-modern trends. Students' postmodern experiences may lead them to seek individuality among diverse sources of identity, seeing knowledge as a throwaway consumption good, and education promotes flexibility and “edutainment.” However, professional education trains people for structured manager…
Not so Neet? A Critique of the Use of ‘Neet’ in Setting Targets for Interventions with Young People
There is a widespread current perception that being ‘NEET’ (not in employment, education or training) presents a major risk for young people of becoming socially excluded. One of the key foci for combating social exclusion thus aims at reducing the numbers of young people who are NEET. This is reflected in the ‘programme theories’ of the Connexions service, whose effectiveness is measured in relation to targets for reducing the numbers of NEET yo…
Social work education’s cultural hegemony
English Globalization presses social work education towards post-colonial oppression of local cultures by dominant cultures, deepening economic difference and dependency. Diverse, local cultures and languages may be lost in internationalized social work education. Social work educational structures must combat cultural hegemony, allowing cultural translation of materials from dominant cultures and languages. French En matière d'enseignement du tr…
Adult protection cases in a hospice: An audit
An audit of the 12 adult protection cases arising in a south London hospice during 2004 is reported, including case studies illustrating issues arising and information about the introduction of a new policy and procedure following No Secrets guidance (Home Office/Department of Health, 2000). Introducing reporting to local authority social services and adult protection co‐ordination raised various issues
Social Work Practice Identities: An Agency Study of a Hospice
Practice identities emerge from negotiation among people working in organisational settings in practice communities and accumulate through interprofessional and professional relations to contribute to the negotiation of professional identities. An organizational study comparing social work, clinical nurse specialist, day care as an example of social care and chaplaincy roles in a hospice, uses distinctions in practice to identify the role of soci…

The Role and Achievements of a Professional Association in the Late Twentieth Century: The British Association of Social Workers 1970-2000
The formation in 1970, in concert with wider policy trends, and the work of BASW during its first 30 years are reported and assessed. The structure, internal issues, finances, personnel, professional and social policy work and publishing operations are considered together with contemporaneous commentary on its achievements. Conflict around membership policies and its professional association role in relation to trade union activities were inheren…
The politics of case management and social work
A case study analysing the introduction of case management into British social services supports the argument that social work is constructed through political processes. In such processes, the interaction among the interests of stakeholders within service innovations influences the construction of the role of social work. Case management was introduced to Britain, but developed in three different forms: social care entrepreneurship, brokerage an…
The moral bases of social work
Social work's conventional “value-talk” presents a professionally neutral value-system for making moral judgements, but paradoxically neglects the professional social role of making moral judgements on behalf of society. Conventional statements of social work's moral values neglect economic, political, and aesthetic value judgements and issues of logic, rhetoric, and epistemology, which should also be included in value debate. Social work's value…

Authors and audiences: Towards a sociology of case recording
An important aspect of case recording is that it is a social relationship between authors and audiences, as well as a system of information storage and retrieval. From the sociological perspective, three aspects of case recording are reviewed: the social relationship between authors and potential audiences, power relations between them, and the interpretation of reality which takes place within the social relationship of case recording.

Residential care for mentally ill people is a growing part of wider services for this client group.

Boundary processes around admission, discharge and going out from residential living are explored. L…

How can we hear the community's voice? responding to community participation as consumer feedback
Social workers should be concerned to hear feedback from communities in which clients live about the social services and the experience of life in the community. Active responses to community views are needed, even if they are not novel, formal structures for communication should be encouraged, experience conveyed directly, more artistically, and factually. Communications should be examined for facts and information, emotions, ideology, experienc…
Routes to and through clienthood and their implications for practice
People become clients of social work agencies by following a complex route, metaphorical or actual, through other attempts to help. This constructs the nature of the social work interaction. In community care services, routes to clienthood may become more complex with a wider variety of agencies being involved in a single person's case; social workers will have to be the guide through this network. Clienthood is best understood as a process throu…
