Radical social work is a tradition often identified exclusively with the movement which developed in the UK in the 1970s, yet as this much-needed new textbook demonstrates, the relevance of radical approaches to contemporary social work practice have never been stronger. Challenges to a neoliberal approach to social work have been gaining ground academically, and, to a lesser extent, in practice circles. This book provides a fresh understanding of the radical tradition and shows how it can be developed in contemporary social work. Using case studies to illustrate the type of dilemmas faced by workers in their day-to-day practice, the book sets out the ways in which a radical social work approach can inform constructive responses. The book emphasises the need to understand the diverse lives of service users, encouraging readers to share experience and knowledge and to discuss past and present events, to build confidence in tackling injustice at individual and societal levels. As many social Workers are becoming disillusioned and dissatisfied with the profession, this book promotes a practice that is rooted in a commitment to positive change and to social justice that will offer a breath of fresh air to students and practitioners alike. Dr Iain Ferguson worked for many years as a social worker and community worker in various settings in the west of Scotland. He currently teaches social work at the University of Stirling. He is the author of "Reclaiming Social Work: Challenging Neo-liberalism and Promoting Social Justice" (Sage, 2008) and is a co-founder of the Social Work Action Network. Rona Woodward qualified as a social worker in 1990 and worked in local authority social work services in London and the east of Scotland for 10 years, with a particular interest in children and young people at risk or in need, including young offenders. Having taken her MSc in criminal justice in 1999, she worked as a criminology researcher at Edinburgh University and taught social work at Glasgow Caledonian University before taking up her current post as lecturer in social work at Stirling in April 2004. She is an active member of the Social Work Action Network.

Dépensier, "inefficace", l'état social est la cible d'attaques récurrentes et l'objet de multiples réformes.Mais que sait-on des professionnels qui oeuvrent en son nom au quotidien ? comment font-ils face aux changements incessants de leurs conditions de travail ? au cours d'une longue enquête dans plusieurs services sociaux, la sociologue delphine serre a choisi comme fil directeur les signalements d'enfant en danger qui sont envoyés à la justice. entre 1994 et 2006, le nombre de mineurs concernés a quasiment doublé.A travers ces signalements on découvre les savoirs et les pratiques, les règles juridiques et les normes éducatives qui guident les assistantes sociales chargées d'identifier les désordres familiaux. la décision de faire appel au juge dépend aussi du contexte de travail, de l'appartenance générationnelle et de la trajectoire de ces agents. partagées entre le souci d'agir et la peur d'aggraver des situations déjà dramatiques, les assistantes sociales doivent surmonter leurs doutes et trancher.Elles sont d'autant plus déstabilisées qu'elles sont soumises à un nombre croissant d'injonctions, parfois contradictoires, et disposent de peu de ressources pour venir en aide à un public de plus en plus précarisé. derrière leur réticence ou au contraire leur empressement à signaler apparaissent les causes structurelles du " malaise " des travailleurs sociaux. en nous faisant entrer dans les coulisses de l'etat social, ce livre permet de comprendre l'épreuve que traversent les professions du public qui, sur le terrain, sont confrontées au désarroi des familles tout en voyant leurs moyens se réduire.
