About the Book
Contemporary social work cannot be fully understood without an appreciation of the broader context of social policy in which it operates. As social workers are increasingly expected to work across institutional, professional, and even national boundaries, this book delves into the crucial relationship between social work and social policy in a rapidly changing global environment.
The book explores how shifts in political ideologies have affected welfare provision and shaped the social issues addressed by policies. It also examines the balance of responsibilities for well-being between individuals, families, voluntary organizations, the market, and the state. The impact of these developments on social work organization and the relationships between social workers and service users is thoroughly analyzed.
Core concepts such as justice, liberty, equality, difference, need, and risk are explored in the context of social work through real-world examples. By providing a critical analysis of these issues, this book gives social work students a solid foundation for navigating complex practice situations, defending their profession, and upholding key professional values.
