Professional Development Needs of Social Work Field Education Supervisors in Australia
Teaching social work students about evidence-based practice using peer-led learning and assessed conversations
While the assessment of students on social work placement has attracted a sizable body of research and commentary, on-campus assessments have attracted less attention. With advances in artificial intelligence and the rise of essay-mills, the rigor of assessment by assignment submission is threatened. Acknowledging the need for educators to review assessment in-line with these contemporary challenges and importance of developing skills for practic…
I don’t think they look at this as an issue’. Exploring the training and development needs of practice educators in social work field education
Social work field education is central to qualifying social work degrees, whereby placements support students to explore the connection between theory and practice, gain frontline experience before entering the workforce, and socialize into the profession. While research has captured student learning experiences, the perspectives of social workers supervising student placements have received less attention. This article examines the training and …

Operationalizing the Four Expressions of Power as a Framework of Analysis in Qualitative Social Work Research
From Rhetoric to Reality
Despite a strong evidence base demonstrating the potential for community development approaches to promote positive social change in individuals, families and communities, the expansion of individualised casework in the UK in recent years, has led to the marginalisation of community development in social work practice and training. Drawing on an evaluation of a specialist community development training programme, the findings contribute to this e…
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…
Using life-history maps to support students in connecting theory to practice
Theory is essential to the professional knowledge base of social work, and the ability to understand, apply, and analyze theory in practice is central to professional capabilities and competence. This places social work education in the intersection of understanding, analyzing, and applying theoretical knowledge, a complex task which requires more than the transmission of information and extends to building skills in analysis, reflection, and cri…

Combining quantitative data from a national survey ( n = 252) with qualitative interviews with frontline social workers ( n = 16), this manuscript examines the ways in which bureaucracy and managerialism has impacted social work in Northern Ireland, with specific attention to relationship‐based practise. Although policy documents emphasise the importance of relationship‐based practise, quantitative and qualitative data demonstrate social workers …
Social Workers’ Experiences of Bureaucracy
Since the 1990s managerialism has spread across the public sector, implementing private sector practices targeting greater efficiency in public services. Consequently, reforms focusing on risk management, standardisation, fragmentation and accountability have increased demands for paperwork and procedure compliance from street-level bureaucrats (SLBs). Focusing specifically on the impact on social work, this paper presents the findings of a syste…

Reflections on a Systematic Literature Review
This critical commentary is developed from the author's experience of conducting a systematic review and thematic synthesis of literature investigating social worker's perceptions of bureaucracy in frontline practice. Reading widely contributes to the development of knowledge, evidence-based practice and research skills, yet the majority of literature consulted failed to address the influence of researcher positionality in research design, data c…

During this time social workers were required to adjust to remote practice, adopting technological adjuncts for continued engagement with service users. This article reports on qualitative interviews with fourteen front line social workers practicing during the pandemic in Northern Ireland, explorin…

Social Workers and Disaster Management
In many parts of the world, social workers have long supported disaster responses although in Aotearoa New Zealand, social work is not generally considered an essential component of disaster management. Promoting the development of safer, less vulnerable communities, is however a key activity for both social work and disaster management. The recent shift from a traditional focus on hazards to vulnerability and resilience consolidates the alignmen…
Considerations for integrating technology into social work practice
This article provides an overview of key ethical considerations for the adoption of technology in social work practice. A content analysis was conducted across nine professional social work associations’ Codes of Ethics. Although considered key reference documents to guide safe practice, this research found limited and varied coverage of technology and focused predominantly on social media use. In an increasingly Internet-based and technology-dri…
Disabled people and disaster management in New Zealand
This article explores how disability and disabled people were portrayed in New Zealand online media between 2006 and 2016, with specific reference to disasters. Following a process of content analysis, the findings indicated that post disaster, persistent advocacy was required and ensuring accessibility, immediately following a disaster as well as in the recovery phase, was a significant issue. Disabled people were also primarily presented as a v…
