Communicating with Children and Their Families
Communication in social work has always been regarded as a basic skill, just as human relationships were seen as the medium for interactions that led to change and improvement in the lives of users of services. This is therefore a timely book because it seeks to reassert such skills by placing them within the very challenging environments many of us work within. The book is grounded in the context of neo-liberal social policy and is therefore hig…
Radical social work in the frontline
In recent times there has been attention in the literature to translating the radical social work critiques (Ferguson, 2007; Ferguson and Woodward, 2009; Lavalette, 2011) into a meaningful form for the actual real-life practice of social work in everyday frontline settings (Carey and Foster, 2011; Rogowski, 2013; Turbett, 2014: forthcoming). This article focuses on one aspect of this: how to create an environment in the workplace in which practic…
Critical Social Work with Children and Families
In recent years, the UK has seen a resurgence of writings in the tradition of the radical social work trend of the 1970s best characterised by Bailey and Brake's Radical Social Work (1975),. These recent works principally involve the efforts of Iain Ferguson and Michael Lavalette and also others (see examples in the References below). This contemporary UK radical literature has attempted to reformulate the radical tradition away from the side-tra…

Social Work with Children and Families
This is a book aimed at practitioners involved in post-qualification training in children and family social work. I tend to measure the value of a social work text by its impact upon my own thinking about practice and by its ability to spur further interrogation of the subject matter. On that basis, this book scores highly and contains some real gems. The book has original insights and signposts to relevant literature and research, some of it not…

Tensions in the Delivery of Social Work Services in Rural and Remote Scotland
This paper is based on a premise that social work practitioners in rural locations, especially those in remote areas, will often find themselves the subject of policy and resource decision-making processes that are not sympathetic to their situation. This is based on a lack of awareness of rural practice issues both from the inside as well as the outside of such contexts. Social workers in rural areas are in fact well placed to engage in imaginat…
Rural social work in Scotland and eastern Canada
English Scotland's highland and island communities are linked historically with Canada's eastern seaboard and both countries share a similar social care infrastructure. This article compares social work services in three different settings: western Newfoundland and Cape Breton in Canada and a Scottish island and highland community. The potentials for developing specifically rural models of social work are explored. French Les Highlands écossais e…
A Decade after Orkney
Social work practice in remote and rural areas of the United Kingdom has received scant attention in recent years. In Scotland this is remarkable given the impact of the Orkney events of 1991 and the widespread attention paid to the public inquiry in its aftermath. This article attempts to redress the balance by examining the reality of life in Scotland’s remoter areas and then discusses this from the perspective of international literature on ru…
