Expanding horizons: religion in social work education
- Authors:

This paper discusses the issues brought about by introducing a course on religion and clinical practice into social work teaching in the University of Hong Kong. Since its inception, the social work curriculum has been tied to the "grand tradition" as reflected in the American context, and therefore the Hong Kong experience can be considered to reflect similar issues within the wider scene. The course instituted is based on the principle that religious beliefs are at the same level as all other beliefs which goes to make up the world and actions of social workers and their clients -assimilating the teaching of religion to the social work process and not to the study of comparative religion.

In 1996 in the Higher Education Funding Council undertook the fourth Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in universities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Performance in research is a crucial measure in university departments because it has direct implications for funding, but some doubt that the criteria used are appropriate measures of quality of research. Describes how the Joint University Council Social Work Education Committee undertook a survey of department which teaches social work to try and elicit responses to the assessment exercise which might inform preparations for the next RAE.

The author asks how trainers can facilitate people's engagement with their training and ultimately with their practice and with the people they are employed to help. Asks what factors may hinder this engagement, and how to recognise and overcome these factors. Explores this problem by drawing upon the concept of 'psychological presence at work', and to use the example of training residential child care workers as a case study to illustrate the dimensions of the problem.

Residential child care is not social work!
- Author:
- MILLIGAN Ian
- Journal article citation:
- Social Work Education (The International Journal), 17(3), September 1998, pp.275-286.
- Publisher:

The title of this paper has been chosen to challenge the predominant view of social work practitioners, managers and educators that the group care of children and young people is a sub-set of social work intervention and that generic child care training is the appropriate form of training for group care workers. The paper is based on a presentation of the same name given at 'Realities and Dreams', the International Conference on Residential Child Care held in Glasgow in 1996. The goal of the paper is to contribute to the increased professionalism of group care and not to return to a position where it was seen as a poor (and poorly qualified) relation to social work proper.
Preparing the ground: home-grown induction: another kind of training?
- Authors:
- BURTON John, MacDONALD Sheila, STEPHENSON Mike
- Journal article citation:

This article is a personal account of involvement in a training and organisational development process. 'Outside' consultants and 'inside' trainers and managers help to change practice more by how they do their work than by what they teach. The article describes some of the organisational dynamics created by introducing staff induction to residential homes for children in a large Scottish local authority. It is written from three perspectives: that of the 'outside' training consultant; that of the 'inside' trainer; and that of the organisation's training and staff development manager. Rather than specifying the programme of induction itself, the authors discuss how the process was used as both a model and a catalyst for wider organisational development.

The authors draw on their experiences as members of EU-funded projects for training social workers in post-communist countries to reflect on developments in social work education there and in the United Kingdom. Argues that the emergence of social work in Central and Eastern Europe has a double agenda - to improve professional skills and values in the public services, and to contribute to the strengthening of a democratic and participatory civil society.
