Another post with my thoughts on issues raised by the new Spanish
social work journal, Azarbe.
Some issues are experienced across the world, but are policy and
service developments too ready to cull the answers from what's going on alsewhere rather than developing something that relates to their own culture and situation.
One article focuses on how social work methods are
evolving to enable service users to be more participative, a policy that is exerting an unthinking tyranny across the world, but is this really
the most important issue in practice development? Another is about case
management to improve health and social care integration, but should how we
work on the issues that individuals face be the vehicle for coordinating
different professional aspirations and ideologies? Every country and culture should think about what fits its needs, not just adopt the current buzz-policy from somewhere else.
