Previous training often focused on knowledge and skills rather than on this competence. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a 3-day workshop in Hong Kong to enhance helping professionals' self-competence in death work. A randomised controlled trial was conducted to examine the effects of the training between January an…
Accountability of Social Service Workers at the Front Line
This article considers how social service workers and supervisors in a state public welfare department view their jobs in light of managerial efforts to make these jobs more accountable. While the front-line social service work force values the security, salary, and benefits, particularly in view of the limited alternatives available to them, most believe management to be out of touch with the realities of social service work. They are suspicious…
