The Social Work Bursary in England
The financial support available to students on social work qualifying programmes appears to be a neglected topic in published social work research. This article draws on a literature review and secondary data analysis of an existing dataset to discuss what is known about this topic and specifically considers the impact of a financial incentive to undertake social work qualifying education in England, the social work bursary. In the context of maj…
Care Ethics
In the first special issue on Care Ethics (Vol. 4, no. 2, 2010), we argued that the ethic of care had expanded in its academic and theoretical scope and also in its application to personal, public
Increasing the Confidence and Competence of Social Work Researchers
This article presents findings from a follow-up survey designed to assess the impact of the first ESRC-funded Researcher Development Initiative (RDI) for social work. The data collected suggest that a large majority of respondents perceived substantial research-related benefits from attendance and a high rate of usage of methods in either research proposals or actual research projects. The benefits of networking and having an opportunity for clar…

My Expectations Remain the Same. The Student Has to Be Competent to Practise
Research has emphasized the importance of practice learning to social work qualifying education but has tended to feature social work educator and student perspectives more strongly than the views of those responsible for assessing students' practice in the field. This article draws on 195 responses to a postal questionnaire sent at two points in time to practice assessors working with students from nine social work qualifying programmes run in s…
What (a) Difference a Degree Makes
After many years of debate in the UK about the need for a degree-level qualification in social work, the arguments for a minimum degree-level qualification were accepted. The requirements for the degree in England were developed drawing on work from a number of sources, including a benchmark statement for undergraduate degrees in social work and focus groups with stakeholders. The new degree in England, launched in 2003, involves one extra year’s…
Global Ethics for Social Work
This piece comprises short presentations given by contributors to a symposium organized by the journal Ethics & Social Welfare on the theme of global ethics for social work. The contributors offer their reflections on the extent to which universally accepted international statements of ethical principles in social work are possible or useful, engaging with debates about cultural diversity, relativism and the relevance of human rights in non-Weste…
Building Research Capacity in Social Work
This article is based on a background paper produced to inform the process of developing a research strategy for social work. First, it explores the current capacity of social work to undertake research that will inform practice. It analyses the impact of context on the imperative for, and capacity of, social work to undertake research and suggests that two interrelated factors have contributed to the limited development of methodological experti…
Assessment Frameworks
Increasing widespread requirements that assessment practice conforms to generic guidelines contained in assessment frameworks has been contentious and critiques offered on individual frameworks have been assumed to apply to the concept of assessment frameworks more generally. After comparing four assessment frameworks currently being used in the UK, this paper argues that although some generalizations can be made, for the most part, they are high…
The role of registration in ensuring ethical practice
English This article compares the processes of registration of social workers in the UK and New Zealand. Its findings are that registration is linked, not to the development of codes of ethics, but to regulation based on codes of conduct. This leads to a discussion of the implications for ethical practice. French Cet article compare les processus d'inscription des travailleurs sociaux au Royaume Uni et en Nouvelle Zélande. Les résultats de la rec…
Social Work
This article, in examining gender and justice, seeks to examine the relationship between feminist theory and social work. Specifically it reviews writings on social work ethics and suggests that little attention has been paid to feminist scholarship that resonates with social work practice. Focusing primarily on community care, it demonstrates how debates within feminism have become more complex and have problematized understandings of both care …
Regulation or fragmentation? Directions for Social Work under New Labour
This article reviews the modernizing agenda of New Labour for social work which has been articulated in the various changes for social work and social care announced in the ‘Quality Strategy’. Focusing predominantly on arrangements for education and training, the article argues that, rather than presenting a coherent strategy, the structures and procedures are fragmented and unco‐ordinated at many levels. A major weakness is that New Labour has f…
Working with violent men from a feminist social work perspective
For two decades feminism has addressed the problem of male violence in inter-personal relationships by working with women. However, men continue to violently abuse women. This article argues that work with men is a legitimate focus for feminist social workers, and male social workers who are prepared to work in pro-feminist ways, and discusses pro-feminist groupwork as a model for bringing about change
The 1996 Research Assessment Exercise and the Response of Social Work Academics
In 1996 the Higher Education Funding Council undertook the fourth Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in universities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Performance in research is a crucial measure in university departments because it has direct implications for funding, but some doubt that the criteria used are appropriate measures of quality of research. Many factors have an impact on the way that research by social work academics…
