Over the past 40 years, social work in Northern Ireland has been
responsive to a number of changing contexts and environments.
Throughout 'the Troubles,' social workers had to develop methods of
ensuring services were delivered in spite of the surrounding
violence and civil disturbance. At the same time, they developed
imaginative and creative new services in response to needs and
demands. This book outlines the historical development of social
work in Northern Ireland, looking at what has been achieved and
analyzing the challenges for the future. It considers the role of
social work in a society emerging from conflict, facing
demographic, technological, and economic changes. Social work in
Northern Ireland has been dismissed by policy makers and academics
as unique, special, or different, and therefore not worthy of
attention. This book demonstrates that international audiences have
much to learn from the social work response to a changing political
landscape.
