An Audit of Assessment and Reporting by Approved Social Workers (ASWs) / Gavin Davidson in The british journal of social work, 5, vol. 40 (July 2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 5, vol. 40 (July 2010) . - pp. 1609-1627 Titre : An Audit of Assessment and Reporting by Approved Social Workers (ASWs) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gavin Davidson, Auteur ; Jim Campbell, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 1609-1627 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Cardijn Evaluation # Travail social TS Santé mentale Résumé : "This paper examines the routine practice of Approved Social Workers (ASWs) in adult mental health services in Northern Ireland. It begins with a review of existing literature on the ASW role before describing how a retrospective audit, using a mixed methods approach, was used to collect data on eighty-four assessments carried out to determine whether compulsory admission to hospital was needed. Respondents were also asked to consider how such assessments might be affected by proposed changes to the law in this field. The key findings highlighted a number of areas of practice that may be improved. There were inconsistencies in how the assessments were recorded and an uneven distribution of workloads across ASWs. Some problems were identified with inter-agency working and, in a quarter of the assessments, the ASW reported having felt afraid or at risk. The authors make a number of recommendations, which include: the use of a standard reporting procedure; that organisations should consider how to deliver a more even distribution of ASW workload; that protocols should be developed that ensure that ASWs are not left alone in potentially risky situations; and that joint assessments with General Practitioners should be required, rather than just recommended."

International Perspectives on the Use of Community Treatment Orders : Implications for Mental Health Social Workers / Jim Campbell in The british journal of social work, 7, vol. 36 (oct. 2006)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 7, vol. 36 (oct. 2006) . - pp. 1101-1118 Titre : International Perspectives on the Use of Community Treatment Orders : Implications for Mental Health Social Workers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jim Campbell, Auteur ; Lisa Brophy, Auteur ; Bill Healy, Auteur ; Ann Marie O'Brien, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford university press - GB - Oxford Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : pp. 1101-1118 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Cardijn Traitement TS Santé mentale # Travailleurs sociaux Mots-clés : Santé mentale  Travailleur social  Traitement Résumé : "Substantial changes to mental health law and policy have occurred throughout the Western world during the last decade. The drift towards control, particularly in the form of Community Treatment Orders (CTOs), has profound implications for the role of mental health social workers, yet this issue is rarely discussed in academic literature. This paper seeks to redress this gap in knowledge by examining aspects of law, policy and practice using three case studies: Victoria, Australia; Ontario, Canada; and regions of the UK. The paper begins by critically reviewing selected literature on CTOs, revealing competing claims about efficacy and their impact upon service users1 and practitioners. A discussion of policy and practice contexts in the three jurisdictions is then presented and supported with a typology, to illustrate contrasts and comparisons. In their conclusions, the authors assert that mental health social workers often have a crucial part to play in the implementation of CTOs but that this is not always acknowledged in law and organizational policy. Social workers’ roles and responsibilities need to be more explicitly identified in mental health law. At the same time, there should be a continuing debate about how such coercive powers fit with codes of ethics and practice standards, at national and international levels."

The Impact of Political Conflict on Social Work : Experiences from Northern Ireland, Israel and Palestine / Shula Ramon in The british journal of social work, 36/3 (avril 2006)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 36/3 (avril 2006) . - pp. 435-450 Titre : The Impact of Political Conflict on Social Work : Experiences from Northern Ireland, Israel and Palestine Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Shula Ramon, Auteur ; Jim Campbell, Auteur ; Lindsay J., Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford university press - GB - Oxford Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : pp. 435-450 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Cardijn Conflit # Ethique # Recherche TS Aide sociale:Aide sociale -- Bénéficiaires # Science politique # Travailleurs sociaux Mots-clés : Conflit  Politique  Travailleur social  Usager  Ethique  Recherche Résumé : "This paper investigates the impact of violent political conflict on social workers and service users in three countries: Northern Ireland, Israel and Palestine. Despite its significance for social work (and other helping professions), there is a dearth of research on the subject. The authors construct a research framework which encapsulates the complexity and ambiguity of the issues at stake and three parallel empirical studies, which follow this framework, are presented. The findings highlight the burden of working and living in a violent political conflict, not just for service users but also for social workers. Emotional stress, fear, competing national and religious identities, yet some indication of resilience, are key findings from these studies. A number of moral and professional dilemmas emerged across all three studies, often testing loyalty to universal social work values. Thus, some respondents at times found it difficult to deal with colleagues and service users who were perceived to be ‘the enemy’. These studies highlight the need to raise the consciousness of social workers, agencies and policies about such issues in a world which is increasingly afflicted by violent political conflict. Support, education and training for social workers which transcend national contexts and further international research in this important area are recommended."
