Best Practice for Estimating Elder Abuse Prevalence in Australia
In June 2017, the Australian Law Reform Commission (‘ALRC’) released the Inquiry on Protecting the Rights of Older Australians from Abuse. A national elder abuse prevalence study was a key recommendation to: (1) measure the extent of this problem within Australia; (2) help arrange availability and demand for resources, and responses delivered by statutory authorities and organisations; and (3) evaluate the effectiveness of services designed to pr…
Thinking systemically about fieldwork education—A third way
This paper reviews fieldwork education initiatives in a number of Australian States and New Zealand and within the United Kingdom throughout the 1990s. This provides the context for a review of parallel developments of fieldwork education in Western Australia—including the development of a Joint Schools/AASW/Employing Agencies Coordinating Committee, a fieldwork syllabus, two levels of professional supervision training and an enhanced fieldwork a…
Operationalising professional supervision in this age of accountabilities
The paper reviews the tensions, complexities, risks and ambiguities of the role and tasks of the social work supervisor: these can surface in efforts to negotiate individualised supervision agreements with colleagues and with students. Given the marked lack of national and international research attention to processes in social work supervision, the paper explores the skills, principles and arguments for a suggested model of ‘Developmental Superv…
Working with the Aged – Beyond Common Sense
The writer briefly reviews the literature on family and community care of the aged before developing an argument for aged-sensitive social work practice. An emphasis on the importance of professional training, supervision and practice approaches based on an accurate understanding of the unique ‘family culture’ of each aged person is underlined. From this context, the potential contribution of a ‘family of origin’ perspective is presented. Particu…
Preparation for Family-Centred Social Work
The paper considers the complexity of the intellectual task facing social work educators and social work students in teaching and learning about family-centred social work practice in a multi-racial society. The process of ‘differentiation’ from one's family of origin is explored as a necessary component of a professional social work programme. The author describes a ‘Families Workshop’ for social work students intended to enhance the practitione…
Family Systems Thinking and Adoption Practice
This paper is based on research commissioned by the Adoption Legislative Review Committee in Western Australia in 1989. The writer addresses significant changes in the demographics of the family, of foster care and of adoption, including the diversity of ‘permanency’ arrangements. A family systems perspective is then applied to some distinctive aspects of adoptive families. Finally, some innovative practices in a number of North American and New …
Supervision and Consultation in Social Work
This article is based on a paper given by the author at an IASSWE regional seminar in Singapore, August, 1989. The historical development of the practice and supervision of social work in the United Kingdom and the United States of America are considered. Polar ideal-type ‘cultures of supervision’ are identified to examine the potential for ambiguity and ambivalence in contemporary social work supervision. The writer then analyses the notional ‘c…
