  • A description and evaluation of a social Work Training programme in Moldova
    Social Work Education, 2001
    Co-Authors: Elsbeth Neil, Clive Sellick
    Abstract:

    This article describes and evaluates one of several international social Work initiatives in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. It highlights one British university's short teaching programme in the former Soviet, but now independent, Republic of Moldova. Participants came from four Moldovan universities, non-governmental organisations and government ministries. They spent 2 weeks, funded by the local UNICEF office, with British and Romanian colleagues exploring the development of social Work teaching and practice. The programme focused on child and family social Work. Subject areas included theories of child development, research studies of child placement and family support, and relevant social policy determining social Work practice in areas such as child protection and adoption. The teaching sessions were delivered via a range of lectures, seminars, discussion groups and practical exercises. The presenters learnt much from the evaluations of the participants about the potential effectiveness of such international teaching programmes. Learning opportunities were maximised by sound preparation and review by the presenters, interim evaluations by the participants and the extensive translations of teaching materials. Successful outcomes were underpinned by ongoing efforts to apply and contextualise the teaching methods and content to the traditions, experiences and needs of the Moldovan participants.

  • ‘You've Got to be a Saint to be a Social Worker’. The (Mis)operation of Fitness to Practise Processes for Students Already Registered onto English Social Work Training Programmes
    Social Work Education, 2010
    Co-Authors: Hugh Mclaughlin
    Abstract:

    This article seeks to promote a debate about the operation of fitness to practise procedures for students who have been registered onto social Work Training programmes in England. Information is provided about the General Social Care Council (GSCC) requirements, university procedures and five exemplars are used to tease out some of the key issues in relation to the operation of these processes. From this exploratory position major concerns are raised about the operation of the current process which promotes surveillance of students in all aspects of their lives, is secret, and lacks accountability. At present it is unknown whether these processes are being operated in a fair or just manner, whether they target particular student communities or whether they are being operated equitably across England. This is a highly unsatisfactory position and is in sharp contradiction to social Work's avowed commitment to social justice.
