Social Work as a Profession
It is important that we know and understand how social work developed in this State, as in any other environment in which our profession may practice. We need to know how and why present situations came about – present forms of social work practice, the present functions and status of social work in employing organisations, the present expectations and attitudes of various client groups to social work and welfare services – especially if we wish …
Consumer Evaluation of Human Services
This article is concerned with the more effective implementation of the principle that consumers of human services should be involved in their evaluation, both as a right and as a source of essential data.

Certain central features of human service organizations tend to place the consumers …

Most attention is given to the first two stages – preliminary and detailed planning…
A Framework for Exploring Different Judgments of Social Need
Starting from the position that the source of definitions of social need must be examined, the paper suggests that it is also of value to analyse the sequential process through which a series of judgments about need is made by both consumers and providers of services. A framework is suggested by which the relationship between source and sequence of need judgments may be explored, and the factors influencing them identified. This framework is also…
