Drawing on lessons from the recent history of social work to
identify how and why it has lost its privilege and influence, this
book challenges social work students to understand why social work
has failed to maintain its position as a driver of social reform.
Bamford looks forward to a new model of practice that places a
commitment to put social justice back at the heart of professional
practice. The book contributes to the topical debates about social
work education and the identity of the profession, encouraging
critical thinking about organisation models, practice content and
meaning of professionalism in social work. Students are asked to
consider questions such as 'why has social work found it so hard to
define its role? ', 'is the neoliberal tide irreversible?', and 'do
the jibes of political correctness have any substance?'. The book
provides students of social work, history of social work and social
policy, with a greater understanding of how social work became an
unloved profession, whilst simultaneously charting a more hopeful
course for the future.
