Description

This Routledge publication addresses the significant changes in social service practice observed over the last 15 years. Written in response to direct accounts from practitioners, the book fills a gap in existing literature regarding how shifts in the welfare state affect professional work. It examines how fiscal decisions made during the 1980s changed both the context and the content of social service roles. Readers will learn about the impact of broader systemic changes such as privatization, cost containment, and fiscal crises on the restructuring of social service work. This book provides a necessary look at how these large-scale economic shifts influence the daily reality of those working within the social service sector. It is a valuable resource for those studying the evolution of social service practice and the changing landscape of the welfare state.
