Gender, ethnicity and activism
This paper is grounded in feminist standpoint and critical race theory, intersectionality and a critique of the neoliberal system and austerity to explore Romani women's activism. In-depth interviews with four prominent activists showed the strength of identity and experience growing up as Romani women in their motivation for activism, the complexity of projects in arts, acting/ directing, writing, policy advocacy, education, networking, mobilisa…
Monoculturalism, austerity and moral panics
This article assesses government progress in addressing Gypsy Traveller and Roma (GTR) exclusion, with particular reference to poverty and social justice issues in England, drawing on the findings of a civil society monitoring report of the UK's National Roma Integration Strategy undertaken for the Decade for Roma Inclusion Secretariat. The article identifies serious flaws in English policy approaches of mainstreaming, monoculturalism and localis…
Developing public support for human rights in the United Kingdom
Public support for human rights in the UK remains limited, partly as a result of misleading media coverage, as well as political hostility. The UK Human Rights Act, in particular, has been under sustained attack and is now threatened by the Conservative Party's drive to repeal it. We analyse recent quantitative and qualitative data on public attitudes in order to learn how to increase public support for human rights practice and principles. The c…
Developing a social work curriculum on political conflict
This paper presents the findings from an innovative project funded by the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) and undertaken by an international team of academics investigating the development of a global curriculum for social work in the context of political conflict. Coupled alongside the emerging research and literature on the subject, our small-scale survey findings indicate support for the need for social work educato…
The Accommodation Experiences of Older Gypsies and Travellers
This article reports on a study exploring the accommodation experiences of older Gypsies and Travellers and how specialist Supporting People services can enhance their wellbeing and social inclusion. The findings suggest that through development of pro-active, culturally appropriate services, flexible, tailored support and joint working, these services have contributed to their users’ wellbeing. Cuts to Supporting People funding pose a serious th…
Asylum seeker young people
This article examines social work with separated young asylum seekers following armed conflict, and focuses on ethical issues arising from contradictions between core social work values and immigration control. It considers problems facing these young people and policy responses internationally, in Europe and the UK. The tension between child welfare and immigration control permeates these responses, with the latter usually trumping the former. A…
Human Rights Practice
This paper seeks to analyse the contribution of a human rights perspective to emancipatory social work. Human rights practice builds on long-standing values and theoretical frameworks related to emancipatory, radical and structural social work and anti-oppressive practice. However, historical tensions within social work, notably in the United Kingdom, continue in contemporary forms, magnified by the global impact of neo-liberalism. The paper cons…
Human Rights and Gypsies and Travellers
This paper explores the relationship between human rights social work and issues facing Gypsies and Travellers, and argues that work with these groups cannot be properly understood outside a human rights framework. It outlines different generations of rights, key current debates, and their significance for social work, building on other emancipatory frameworks for practice including anti-oppressive practice, structural social work and critical po…
Reclaiming humanity for asylum-seekers
This article explores the role of social work with asylum-seekers in the UK and Australia. It raises the questions of the contradictions for the profession in the light of increasingly repressive policies in both countries. Comparing the policies in the two countries, questions are asked about current social work engagement and the potential for an enhanced role. French Cette recherche examine le rô le du service social auprè s des demandeurs d'a…
Deprivation and Discrimination faced by Traveller Children
Asylum, children's rights and social work
Although it is only a minority of displaced and persecuted people globally who seek refuge in ‘Western’ countries, they meet an increasingly hostile reception. This paper focuses on the situation facing children seeking asylum with or without their families in Britain and Australia, and the implications for children's rights and for social work. The policy background and its racist foundations in both countries are outlined. Despite geopolitical …
Assimilation, control, mediation or advocacy? Social work dilemmas in providing anti‐oppressive services for Traveller children and families
This paper explores dilemmas facing social work in England in providing anti‐oppressive services for Travellers, particularly those who lack secure sites. A context is provided by outlining the conflict between Travellers and the majority society, and its expression in oppressive legislation, policy and practice. The implications of the corporate local authority role for relationships between Travellers and social services, and the specific histo…
Health and social work
This practice account explores three interwoven themes: work with Gypsies and Travellers; the relationship of health promotion and social work; and a model of social work which extends beyond casework into groupwork, interagency work and community work. The latter strands, of content and of method, were responses both at a pragmatic level to the shocking living conditions of Gypsies and Travellers, and from a value perspective were an attempt to …
