Sexuality and sexual identity have been relatively marginalized
areas in both social work education and practice. However, changes
in policy and legislation in the UK and other countries over the
past decade have brought discussions of sexuality into the
mainstream public service agenda. In social work and social care,
gay and lesbian citizenship rights have been explicitly recognised.
In the fields of adoption and fostering new regulations and
guidance have helped improve and develop practice around assessment
and intervention. It remains the case, however, that sex is often
perceived as a problem area within social work and social care,
discussed only in relation to sexually diverse communities or in
the realm of dysfunction or pathology. This collection aims to
generate a more proactive and challenging discussion of sexuality
and sexual identity in social work. Its starting point is that
sexuality is an essential aspect of individual identity, that users
must be able to express their sexuality, and that it is essential
for social workers to be able to respond and discuss sexual issues
appropriately. The contributions are informed by feminist research,
considering, in particular, the experiences of women working in and
using social care services since the 1990s. In addition to a
consideration of the wider policy, legislative and service
providers' perspectives, the book includes reflective accounts as
well as research-led contributions, offering a comprehensive and
balanced account of this important field, which aims to inform both
theory and practice.
