Description

The voice of practitioners is rarely heard in social work publications. Traditional research approaches perpetuate the divide between theory/research and practice. This book pioneers a framework for engaging practitioners in de-constructing taken-for-granted activities, placing practice at the heart of research. Through a sequence of focus groups, the tools of critical hermeneutics are used to explicate practitioners¿ everyday practices in Irish child protection and welfare, with a particular focus on prevention. The texts engendered by the process clearly demonstrate that, in spite of increasing bureaucracy, high workloads and societal lack of resources and support, social workers are highly committed to protecting and improving the welfare of vulnerable children. Crucial to their ability to do so is a strong sense of agency ¿ the confidence to bring about change and to make autonomous decisions. Through individual and peer reflection, the hermeneutic process offered a strong antidote to hopelessness and resignation. The findings propose exciting possibilities for students, practitioners, educators and managers in social work and other caring professions.
