Book Synopsis The Social Worker by : Clement Attlee
Download or read book The Social Worker written by Clement Attlee and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Principled, pluralistic and humane - rather than utopian or absolute - it is the forgotten script of the twentieth-century Labour Party." John Bew, Citizen Clem Clement Attlee presided over Britain's first socialist government, ushering in radical domestic reforms - from the creation of the National Health Service to the nationalisation of the railways. In 1920, however, Attlee returned from service in the Great War and resumed his pre-war social work in East London, whilst organising the increasingly powerful Labour Party. Attlee was a politician honing his voice and philosophy. Attlee's The Social Worker is a manifestation of an intellectual idea about social work that critiqued the Victorian charitable approach, which focused on individual character rather than the structure of society. The manifesto is a blend of Attlee's socialist politics with its advocacy of increased government involvement. The book also reflects his profound belief in the importance of practical action for helping the disadvantaged. Attlee's ideal social worker is neither the aloof and abstract theorist, nor the complacent and condescending philanthropist, but a multi-faceted individual who can agitate for social reform whilst volunteering one's time and money for those less fortunate. The Social Worker is a powerful call to arms for improving society, written with Attlee's characteristic compassion and thoughtfulness. This classic work is a must read for those interested in socialism, the Labour Party and how societies and individuals can make a difference. Clement Attlee was born in 1883 and served as British Prime Minister 1945 - 1951. He is also the author of As It Happened and Empire into Commonwealth, also published by Sharpe Books. Praise for The Social Worker "The Social Worker is a concise work that proposes solutions, based not on abstract theory but, as the reader grasps from the first pages, on Attlee's own experience." Michael Jago, Clement Attlee: The Inevitable Prime Minister "... a clear statement of the principles which were to underlay the creation of the welfare state by the Attlee government a quarter of a century later." Francis Beckett, Clem Attlee: Labour's Great Reformer

Book Synopsis Social Workers Affecting Social Policy by : Gal, John
Download or read book Social Workers Affecting Social Policy written by Gal, John and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2013-01-16 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Furthering social justice and human rights is a fundamental principle underlying the social work profession. Engaging in social policy formulation processes is a major route through which social workers can realise this goal. This type of social work activity has been termed ‘policy practice’. The aim of this book is to shed light on policy practice in social work discourse, education and practice in eight liberal democracies. This is the first effort to undertake a cross-national study of social worker engagement in social policy formulation processes. The book offers insights into questions such as ‘what is the importance attributed to social worker involvement in policy change in the social work discourse and education in different countries?’ and ‘how do social workers influence social policy in various national settings?’ These issues are relevant to social worker practitioners, students, educators and researchers, as well as to social policy scholars, who are interested in the role of professionals in social policy formulation.

Book excerpt: As the government continues to open up child protection and social work in England to a commercial market place, what is the social cost of privatising public services? And what effect has the failure of previous privatisations had on their provision? This book, by best-selling author and expert social worker Ray Jones, is the first to tell the story of how crucial social work services, including those for families and children, are now being out-sourced to private companies. Detailing how the failures of previous privatisations have led to the deterioration of services for the public, it shows how this trend threatens the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable children and disabled adults.

Book Synopsis Comparing the Social Policy Experience of Britain and Taiwan by : Catherine Jones Finer
Download or read book Comparing the Social Policy Experience of Britain and Taiwan written by Catherine Jones Finer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. This is a seminal collection. For the first time, leading scholars and practitioners from Taiwan join with counterparts from Britain to offer comparable commentary on key social policy and social service issues affecting their respective countries. The result is as thought-provoking as it is informative. The approach adopted - of encouraging writers to speak for themselves virtually without restriction - could well provide a model in itself for encouraging and easing contributions from previously unpresented countries into the mainstream of comparative cross-national social policy debate. Concluding papers, on the prospects for East-West comparative social policy in general, confirm the significance of this collection by emphasizing its contribution to broader, social and political debates.
