This book focusses on social work in the time of COVID-19. Social
workers, their clients, and the organisations they represent have
been affected by the pandemic in multiple ways. The pandemic and
various efforts to curb the viral outbreak, such as face masks and
lockdowns, have forced social workers to adapt to a ‘new
normal’, launch new practices, mobilise social support and
networks remotely, and above all, defend the most vulnerable
populations. This requires an understanding of how social work and
its clients are prepared for, capable to respond to, and further,
to recover from a societal crisis and human disasters, like a
coronavirus pandemic. Divided into three parts, it provides a
wealth of knowledge related to social work in different local and
cultural contexts during the period of the global pandemic. With
experienced social work researchers across a diversity of settings,
contexts, and research traditions, the book is reflective of the
‘glocal’ response of social work. Offering new perspectives on
challenges social workers have faced in dealing with the pandemic,
it makes critical and timely insights into the innovations and
adaptations in social work responses, with a strong empirical
basis. It will be of interest to all social work scholars,
students, and practitioners.
