Young Onset Dementia – Peer Research Exploring the Insights of Informal Carers
This qualitative study of informal (unpaid) carers for people living with a diagnosis of Young Onset Dementia (YOD) was conducted by a previous informal carer of a person living with YOD. The objective of this study was to ascertain informal carers' experience of the support that they received. A review of literature was undertaken to ascertain current knowledge in relation to informal carer experience. The findings allowed the development of an …
Is social work an endangered breed? an analysis of the challenges for social work in Malta
Literature about the challenges to the development of the social work profession, particularly in Malta, is scarce. A review of the literature shows that there are similar trends in other countries. This paper is based on the data stemming from one of the questions in the qualitative interviews of a doctoral research study. The findings suggest that some of the challenges for social work in Malta include a shortage of social workers, issues with …
Bridging the gap between social work and community development
Although, arguably, the origins of social work in the UK have been closely aligned to community development in the past few decades, social work has occupied a bureaucratic landscape focusing primarily on individual risks and needs, leading to both fields drifting further apart. Dismantling of shared values and practices was fueled by layers of government policy and legislation, driven by a neoliberal agenda and public management reforms. However…

Threshold Decisions in Social Work
Decision making is an intrinsic and complex aspect of social work practice, requiring consideration of diverse but connected aspects. Decisions are often required as to whether a situation requires protective state intervention or whether it reaches the criteria for public or charitable services. Such instances of deciding whether or not a situation is ‘on one side of the line or the other’ are referred to in this article as ‘threshold judgements…
Making Sense of Risk
‘Risk’ has become a central concept for social work practice in countries with more developed social welfare systems. As argued by Hazel Kemshall and colleagues, ‘risk’ has often replaced ‘need’ as the main driver for social work interventions as societies seek to avoid harm to citizens. This shift of focus raises a tension between care (support for the individual or family in their own right) and control (seeking to prevent harm to themselves, e…
Group decision-making theories for child and family social work
There is increasing interest in decision making in social work. Much of the attention has been on individual professional judgement rather than on group decisions processes. This paper outlines key theoretical approaches from diverse fields of knowledge for conceptualising professional group decision processes in child and family social work, as a framework for future research and more focused theoretical developments. The main theoretical approa…
Using intuition in social work decision making
Social workers must make ‘justifiable’ decisions, but ‘intuition’ is also important in assessment, decision making and working with risk. We discuss intuition within professional judgement as being part of our cognitive faculties; emotionally-informed reasoning processes connecting workers with clients and families; and intuition making use of internalised learning. Challenges discussed include intuition as a taboo topic; communicating intuition-…
Does Training Enhance Professional Practice in Infant Mental Health
The lack of robust evaluation of training outcomes has been noted within the delivery of Health & Social Care across the UK. The impact on adult mental health of poor emotional care during infancy and early childhood has also been highlighted by the relatively recent advancements in neuroscience. This study used pre- and post-testing to assess practice across three key domains. The gains observed in staff knowledge and confidence post-training ar…
Social workers’ perceptions of restorative approaches with families in cases of elder abuse
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore professional perspectives on restorative approaches with families in elder abuse cases. Design/methodology/approach Data were gathered from 37 social workers in statutory and voluntary organisations through nine focus group sessions in one region of Northern Ireland. A thematic analysis was undertaken and themes were derived from the data using NVivo software. Findings This paper reports main findin…
Conceptualising elder abuse across local and global contexts
Purpose Social policy and professional practice across the island of Ireland is dominated by the WHO definition of elder abuse and national and professional interpretations of what constitutes elder abuse. Top-down, generalist knowledge of the abuse of older people have facilitated paternalistic and protectionist policies and services designed to protect older vulnerable adults across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. However, a quali…
Judgements of Social Care Professionals on Elder Abuse Referrals
Guidance in the UK requires the co-ordination and standardisation of services to protect adults from abuse. However, there remains considerable ambiguity about the basic concepts of abuse and vulnerability. This paper reports an empirical study of factors in professional decision making in relation to identifying and reporting abuse of older people. A systematic review and a panel of expert practitioners were used to identify factors that might i…
