Developing ‘self-efficacy’ as an outcome measure in capacity building among social work practice educators in China
This article provides an exploration of social workers’ self-efficacy following their participation in a training programme designed to enhance the professional competence of practice educators. The study was conducted at three sites in China: Nanjing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, with 300 participants completing a standardized questionnaire at three time-points—before the training, at its conclusion, and after supervising a student. The aim was to i…
The Construction of Character in Social Work Narratives of Practice with Undocumented Migrants
Undocumented migration is a global phenomenon. Social work practice with undocumented migrants, worldwide, is ethically complex as social workers are positioned between the mandates of the state, designed to deter ‘illegal’ migration and the needs of their undocumented clients. Yet, despite this complexity, the relationship between social workers and their undocumented clients remains largely unexamined. In this article, we draw on interviews wit…
Supervision of Chinese social work students during field practice
This article explores the extent to which approaches to supervision developed outside of China fit with Chinese cultural approaches to learning and teaching. Qualitative data were collected from students and supervisors from three different regions in China. The findings suggest that a student-focused, egalitarian approach is fundamental to promote students’ learning at the current developmental stage of the social work profession in China. This …
A Profile of UK Doctoral Candidates in Social Work and Social Care
One important indication of the strength of a discipline is the state of its doctoral research. An important milestone for the official recognition of social work in the UK has been its inclusion in Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) doctoral funding schemes. The current study assesses the longer-term impact of these schemes, via a 2013 survey, following up a previous one in 2008. A web-based survey of social work doctoral candidates in …
Developing the Confidence and Competence of Newly Qualified Child and Family Social Workers in England
A measure of self-efficacy was used to assess the development of competence and confidence for participants in a one-year national programme of supervision and support for newly qualified child and family social workers (NQSWs) in England. The study also explored the associations between self-efficacy, demographic variables and role clarity, role conflict, job satisfaction and stress. Method: A longitudinal repeated measures design with three coh…
Social solidarity, social work and Chinese people
Differences in social solidarity among Chinese in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom have been identified from two linked studies. Significant differences emerged between the two Chinese communities. Notably, respondents in Hong Kong reported a higher sense of belonging to their community, greater engagement with the provision of care for others and made a greater contribution to the lives of others than did UK Chinese respondents. Consideration ab…

Holding Techniques in the Care of Children
In a recent article, published in the British Journal of Social Work (Sudbery et al., 2010), we presented findings and discussed the implications of a study about a therapeutic service for children with severe emotional and relationship difficulties which was provided by a private organisation in the UK. One of the distinctive (and indeed contentious) aspects of the service was that ‘holding techniques’ were used during therapy. In the conclusion…
Coping strategies and social support-seeking behaviour among Chinese caring for older people with dementia
The study reviewed coping and help-seeking behaviour among Hong Kong Chinese family care-givers of older people diagnosed with dementia. A convenience sample of those caring for family members with dementia (N=11) was recruited in Hong Kong. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed and analysed using NVivo. The study found evidence of distinct Chinese coping strategies that focused upon internal self-regulation, forbearance and fami…
Social inclusion in an ageing world
This paper provides an introduction to a special issue focusing on diverse examples of policy practice in social inclusion and ageing across different regions of the world. These examples illustrate the multifaceted nature of the concept of social inclusion, and how it is applied in the context of global demographic ageing. The paper begins with an exploration of the history and development of the concept of social inclusion, as applied to ageing…

The nature of employer’s involvement in social work education
Email interviews and internet inquiries were used to explore the nature and extent of employer engagement in qualifying social work education programmes across 10 countries: Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, UK and USA. Findings indicate considerable variations in the nature and extent of engagement in admissions processes, programme management and assessment of student competence. Practice l…
Academic Affiliations of Social Work Journal Article Authors from 1999–2003
Following the protocols established by Ligon, Jackson, and Thyer (2007), author affiliations of 639 articles published in five UK social work journals between 1999 and 2003 were tabulated to generate a ranking of universities. Seventy-three universities published three or more articles. The findings are discussed in relation to the earlier article by Ligon et al. (2007) Ligon, J., Jackson, D. L. and Thyer, B. 2007. Academic affiliations of social…
To Have and to Hold
Therapies for children and young people that using ‘holding’ as an intervention for severe difficulties with attachments are controversial and raise many questions. At least one major professional organisation has stated that these therapies should be banned. This paper discusses the implications of a study of a service for children (and their families where appropriate) described as having attachment difficulties or a diagnosis of attachment dis…
Different Cultures, Different Ethics? Research Governance and Social Care
This article focuses on the governance and ethical conduct of research within the domain of social work and social care. Globally, research in this domain appears less well regulated than those in the domains of health care. Within the United Kingdom, the Westminster government is implementing a Research GovernanceFramework for Social Care in England (RGF Social Care). This article locates this development in a broader global context and uses as …
Ageing in Hong Kong and the UK
Social cues, such as eye gaze and pointing fingers, can increase the prioritisation of specific locations for cognitive processing. A previous study using a manual reaching task showed that, although both gaze and pointing cues altered target prioritisation (reaction times [RTs]), only pointing cues affected action execution (trajectory deviations). These differential effects of gaze and pointing cues on action execution could be because the gaze…

Safeguarding children
Founded on an evaluative review of core group practice in a northern metropolitan borough of England, this paper highlights the tensions and difficulties that might inhibit the quality of post‐registration services to children and their families. Insights from the empirical data as well as theoretical literature have been explored in the light of current and developing policies. This exploration is focused on inter‐agency coordination; inter‐prof…
Mapping Comparative Empirical Studies of European Social Work
This paper reviews the scope of currently published materials about comparative empirical social work research within Europe, published in English over a two-decade period (1980–2000). To this end, the paper is divided into four sections. First, an account of the scope and methods used to conduct this review. Second, a brief analysis of non-empirical published materials. Third, in the bulk of the paper, identified comparative studies are discusse…

Inspecting social work values
Under the 'Community Care' legislation inspection units will be set up by each local authority. The inspectors will be responsible for quality assurance in both local authority and independent residential units. This paper examines some of the difficulties that face inspectors from a social work values perspective. Three major aspects are considered; firstly the notion of social work values themselves, secondly problems that arise for inspectors …
