Numbers and demographic characteristics of UK social work students over time
Although the numbers and demographic characteristics of social work students are published annually by workforce regulators in each of the four UK nations, these have not before been brought together to form a UK-wide picture, over time, and allow some comparison between the four nations. This article does that, using individual-level data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency, from 2007/8 to 2021–2. The analysis found the well-known pictur…

The Visibility of a Socio-Economic Dimension in Day-to-Day Child and Family Social Work Practice in Wales
This study explored how day-to-day social work practice with children and families in Wales responds to poverty, building on case studies already published in the other three UK nations. A case study design was used. The sites were locality teams in two local authorities, differing in their children looked after rates and trajectories of these over time. Qualitative research methods included practice observations; interviews with staff; focus gro…
Retention in statutory social work from fast-track child and family programs
Two fast-track child and family social work training programs have been established in England — Step Up to Social Work and Frontline. Trainees’ financial support is far higher than for mainstream social work degrees. One of the reasons claimed for setting up these programs is addressing retention, although critics (of Frontline) predicted graduates would not stay in social work. A 4-year study assessed retention and reasons for leaving social wo…
Use of Linked Administrative Children’s Social Care Data for Research
Increasing access to children’s social care data presents enormous potential for research and policy evaluation, with opportunities increased where data can be anonymously linked to other sources of information, such as health and education data. The purpose of this scoping review was to provide an overview of all UK data linkage studies that have used routinely collected individual-level children’s social care administrative data. Six research d…
Income inequality and child welfare interventions in England and Wales
Background Previous research has identified a relationship between income inequality and child abuse and neglect in the USA. This association has received limited exploration outside the USA. Methods Administrative data on child protection (CP) in 172 English and Welsh local authorities between 2013 and 2018 were combined with data on deprivation, ethnic density and education from publicly available data sources. Commercial income data were used …
Child welfare inequalities in the four nations of the UK
Comparative international data on patterns of inequality in child welfare interventions, for example, the proportion of children about whom there are substantiated child protection concerns or who are in out-of-home care, are far less developed than data about inequalities in health. Few countries collect reliable, comprehensive information and definitions, methods of data collection and analysis are rarely consistent. The four UK countries (Engl…
Child Welfare Inequalities in a Time of Rising Numbers of Children Entering Out-of-Home Care
The relationship between poverty and child maltreatment and by extension of being placed in out-of-home care is a well-established one. However, this study goes beyond recent UK studies on the scale of child welfare inequalities in the likelihood of being placed in out-of-home care by considering such inequalities over time. The study is an analysis of longitudinal administrative data on children ‘looked after’ with a specific focus on children e…

A Four-Nation Comparison of Kinship Care in the UK
The practice of extended family and friends helping to care for children when their parents are unable to is an enduring tradition in many cultures. Kinship care provides the largest proportion of out of home care in Western society but many of these carers experience poverty and deprivation, and do not receive comparable levels of support, financial or professional, to other placement types. This study provides UK evidence for the relationship b…
Looking After Children in the UK—Convergence or Divergence
Comparative child welfare administrative data from each of the four jurisdictions of the UK (Scotland, England, Northern Ireland (NI) and Wales) were analysed over a ten-year period to examine rates and patterns of public care. Scotland followed by Wales has the highest rates of children in out-of-home care, followed by England and NI with similar lower proportions. Despite strong links between deprivation and higher chances of becoming looked af…

Shakespeare’s Invention of Othello
Shakespeare's Invention of Othello
‘Who can controll his Fate?’
Othello asks 'Who can controll his Fate?' towards the end of the play, when his decisive action of revenge has proved destructive of innocence (F3565; v.ii.268). The question functions, in fact, as an assertion; and it seems to derive from a sudden realisation in Othello about man's inability to shape his destiny. The implication is that until now Othello has considered himself to be in control, to some extent, of his own fate.KeywordsMain Clause…
