Social work is under unprecedented pressure as a result of funding
cuts, political interventions, marketisation and welfare
transformations which, combined, are dramatically reshaping the
relationship between individuals and the welfare state. A wide
range of distinguished academics provide a comprehensive analysis
of the evolving challenges facing contemporary social work,
reflecting on both the existential and ideological threats to the
profession. As well as the chief practice areas of child
protection, adult care and mental health, contributors also examine
practice issues surrounding older people, neoliberalism,
neo-eugenics and the refugee crisis. This book offers concrete
policy proposals for the future of the profession alongside
valuable solutions which students and practitioners can action on
the ground.
Health and social care reforms and cuts in services and finances
are part of the everyday fabric of the social work landscape. This
book takes a critical approach to the transformation agenda and the
implications for adult health and social care. Fully informed by
theory, research, policy and legislation the book uses a
problem-based learning approach through the application of case
studies to explain and explore the overlapping roles of social care
and social policy. The book argues for the continued significance
and importance of social work within the context of adult social
care. It shows that social work can make a difference in the lives
and experiences of many of the people who are perceived as being
the most vulnerable people in society. This text is essential
reading for students of social work and social policy, health and
social care courses and other professional disciplines, social work
educators and practitioners, and managers working in social care.
