Description
Social Work in Ireland: Changes and Continuities offers a timely evaluation of social work in Ireland during a period of significant economic and political change. This comprehensive analysis brings together academics and professionals to explore how social work is responding to changing circumstances, including the impact of new relationships between state, NGO, and private sectors on the provision of social services. The book examines key areas of practice, such as child welfare, domestic violence, mental health, working with migrants and minority ethnic groups, substance misuse, probation services, and support for older people and those with disabilities. This in-depth analysis provides valuable insights into the challenges facing social work in Ireland today. This book is an important resource for students of social work and social care in Ireland, as well as qualified practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of the field.
