Peter Scourfield, Putting professional leadership into practice in social work
Children’s Rights, Deinstitutionalisation and the Development of Foster Care Services across the World
In many countries, foster care is an established system for looking after children who cannot live with their birth families. It is accepted as a preferable form of provision when compared to institutional arrangements. Deinstitutionalisation is founded upon theories of child development, most particularly attachment theory, which suggest that children are more likely to flourish in family settings as opposed to institutions. The implementation o…
Neoliberalism, managerialism and the reconfiguring of social work in Sweden and the United Kingdom
This article considers some of the ways in which neoliberalism, through the processes of managerialism, has impacted on the occupation of social work in Sweden and the UK. It is argued that there are similar implications in both countries, through the managerial drive for increased performance in economy, efficiency and effectiveness, but also in the development of evidence based practice. Whilst the key focus of the article is on similarities be…
Coaching, Supervision and the Social Work Zeitgeist
With reference to Local Authorities in England, this paper acknowledges the intensified critique of the managerial context in which social work is carried out. It recognises that professional supervision has been in jeopardy, as principles of corporate line management have overshadowed the approaches of the past, and most particularly the supportive components. However, recent developments have reinvigorated the interest in relationship-based soc…

Academic Affiliations of Social Work Journal Article Authors from 1999–2003
Following the protocols established by Ligon, Jackson, and Thyer (2007), author affiliations of 639 articles published in five UK social work journals between 1999 and 2003 were tabulated to generate a ranking of universities. Seventy-three universities published three or more articles. The findings are discussed in relation to the earlier article by Ligon et al. (2007) Ligon, J., Jackson, D. L. and Thyer, B. 2007. Academic affiliations of social…
Child Neglect
Safeguarding children
Founded on an evaluative review of core group practice in a northern metropolitan borough of England, this paper highlights the tensions and difficulties that might inhibit the quality of post‐registration services to children and their families. Insights from the empirical data as well as theoretical literature have been explored in the light of current and developing policies. This exploration is focused on inter‐agency coordination; inter‐prof…
Protecting Children
Core groups are concerned with safeguarding children. Their work is the manifestation of inter-agency co-operation, inter-professional communication, and partnership with parents and children. With reference to empirical evidence and theoretical literature, each of these aspects is examined in turn. Rather than criticize failings, proposed solutions are explored, and the article draws attention to the complex task with which the relevant policy-m…
Why don't women want to be social workers anymore? New managerialism, postfeminism and the shortage of social workers in social services departments in England and Wales
INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy is a crucial period which ultimately directly impacts two individuals health and wellbeing. Within the UK, a standardised pattern of care is established with collaborations across disciplines to the benefit of women and babies. During the COVID19 pandemic, this pattern of care was disrupted to align with protective protocols which until now, has not been formally reported. METHODS: A retrospective, mixed methods study of U…
New managerialism, social service departments and social work practice today
Global economics, demographic change and the rise of neo-liberal-ism have contributed to the new managerialist ethos of public sector organisations. In consequence, Local Authority Social Service Departments have been reformed and now operate by means of management approaches borrowed form the private sector. It is argued here that this new organisational and managerial context is reshaping the very nature of social work. Previous methods have gi…
Cultural Constructions
This article addresses the relationship of the theorizing of organizational culture and the theorizing of gender construction. It begins by recognizing some of the difficulties of defining and understanding what is meant by the contested concept of culture. Drawing on the work of Smircich (1983) and Linstead and Grafton‐Small (1992), an attempt has been made to explore the theorization of organizational culture(s) in terms of the concepts of orga…
