Care management and social work
The role of social work with vulnerable adults has changed markedly in many countries, including England and Wales following the 1990 NHS and Community Care Act. The basis for this paper is a small qualitative study of the social work role in helping people entering residential or nursing care in the independent sector following an emergency hospital admission in England (Phillips and Waterson 1997). This double transition is an under-researched …

Redefining community care social work
This reflective paper assesses whether the focus of community care social work is shifting from responding to needs to reducing or containing risks.

This paper sug…

In turn they have become key to priority setting and …
