This article is based on a study of men's relationship to the social work profession in the North-West of England. It argues that men's presence in the social work profession is accounted for in discourses of career motivation, of career choice, and of men social workers as heroes and/or 'gentle-men'. The article considers how these negotiations between gender and professional identities might contribute to debates about the detraditionalization of gender and work identities in late modernity.
La educación para el trabajo social en la República de Irlanda se ha transformado fundamentalmente desde que se estableció la Comisión Nacional de Calificaciones en 1997. Esta Comisión acredita cursos al nivel nacional, acredita los títulos y certificaciones extranjeras y aconseja al gobierno y quienes emplean trabajadores sociales sobre esos títulos. Esta Comisión fue establecida en un momento de expansión de empleo para los trabajadores sociales. Sin embargo, el trabajo social en Irlanda es limitado por la existencia de tres profesiones (trabajo con jóvenes, trabajo con la comunidad y cuidado social) que se desarrollan en trabajo social en otros países europeos, pero no en Irlanda. En este artículo, trazo las historias de las cuatro profesiones, describo sus diversas rutas educativas y planteo preguntas sobre su desarrollo. ; Social work education in the Republic of Ireland has gone through rapid transformation since the development of the National Social Work Qualifications Board in 1997. This Board accredits national courses, accredits non-national qualifications and advises the government and employers in relation to social work qualifications. The Board was established at a time of unprecedented expansion in the employment of social workers. However, social work is defined narrowly in Ireland and at least three other professions (youth work, community work and social care) are described a social work in other European countries, but no Ireland. In this article, I trace the histories of four professions, describe their different educational routes and raise questions about their development.
ABSTRACTThe 'social' context in which social work is located is becoming increasingly unsettled by emerging patterns of mobility. Mobility is constrained for many social work service users who are trapped within disadvantaged areas, while for others it has become a forced necessity to cross national boundaries and inhabit uncertain status in their nations of destination. This article explores the responses of the social work profession to children seeking asylum in the Republic of Ireland. These children's complex needs, produced by the conditions of mobility they have encountered and by the conditions of arrival/settlement in Ireland, force social work practice to be orientated beyond the boundaries of the national welfare state. In order to explore the varied responses of the social work profession in the Republic of Ireland to asylum seeking children, three different groups of children are considered: children seeking asylum who have been separated from their parents; children who are seeking asylum with their parent(s)/family; and young Irish citizens whose asylum seeking parents are in danger of being deported. It argues that the provision of appropriate services for these children requires the development of post‐national forms of social work practice.
