This book offers a critical, sociological analysis of the domino
effect of neoliberalism and austerity politics on the role of
social work and wider welfare provision. It argues that social work
should move away from the resultant emphasis on risk management and
bureaucracy, and return to a focus on relational and community
approaches as the cornerstone of practice. Applying theoretical
frameworks to practice, including those of Bourdieu and the recent
work of Wacquant, the book examines the development of neoliberal
ideas and their impact on social welfare. It explores the
implications of this across a range of areas of social work
practice, including work with children and families, working with
asylum seekers and refugees and mental health social work.
