Recent developments in social work education in the UK have emphasised partnership between social work agencies and educational institutions providing social work courses. Argues that these policies are based on a concept of partnership which reflects a romantic ideal rather than the reality. Collaboration needs to be created in parts, through developing personal linkages in a network of those concerned within the training and education culture of social work education.

Post-modern students (and some educators) are defined as updated nomads who have access to the financial, material and technological resources for communication and travelling. They tend to see education as a consumer good and seek a personal rather than a professional identity. However, to benefit from education, they also need security and structure. Social work education needs to be reframed as a process of emergence in which educators and students work together to create knowledge and identity in their professional area. To operate in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world, students need to create a strong professional identity and learn how to transfer knowledge and values from one situation to another. They need to become ‘chaos pilots’ who are able to deal with both cultural and social change.

This article focuses on how forces of globalization may allow powerful cultures to dominate the less powerful through social work education, deepening economic difference and dependency. Diverse, local cultures and languages may be lost in internationalized social work education. It is argued that social work educational structures must combat cultural hegemony, allowing cultural translation of materials from dominant cultures and languages.
Standards of written and spoken English in social work education
- Author:
- PAYNE Malcolm
- Journal article citation:

Standards of English are important in social work education: English is the medium of instruction and practice, a higher education qualification should be a mark of adequate literacy, poor English makes written assessments hard to evaluate and it is required in practice for the advocacy role of social workers. Social workers should be comprehensible in speech, but this raises equal opportunities issues. Proposes guidelines for assessing standards of English that exclude minor slips, penalise work that is difficult to understand or where poor standards undermine workers' credibility.
Distance education and international social work education

As a result of the development of new communication technology, distance education has become a rapidly growing area over the last few decades. Market and commercial pressures are major factors in its developing impact. Distance education has also been applied to social work education. Because it is a small field it may be both positively and negatively affected. Social work education requires face-to-face communication training. Educators need to respond to the limitations of distance education technologies and processes to provide for cultural and linguistic diversity, through openness to joint work across different cultures, anti-standardisation and -discrimination, reflexivity, user control and resources, and cultural and language translation.
