Major changes have been taking place in social care throughout the UK, resulting in new and complex responsibilities being given to an estimated third of a million of social services staff.Drawing on extensive survey material, this book explores the work histories of social services staff, describes their current jobs and examines their work experiences. It provides detailed evidence of abuse and violence at work, satisfaction and stress in the workplace, and staff's experience of racism and discrimination, gender issues and education and training.This ground-breaking book provides comprehensive information on a workforce about which very little has been known to date. It uniquely draws on comparisons between England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, looking at managers, social work staff, home care workers and residential workers.Social services: working under pressure is essential reading for academics and students in social work and social policy, employers, staff themselves, social services users and the wider audience concerned about welfare and social policy.

This title was first published in 2000: This text focuses on developments in social work and its management. In doing so, it is of necessity multi-disciplinary: research and literature from the fields of management, organization and social policy, as well as social work, are drawn upon. The major theme of the book is change, which, paradoxically, appears to be the major constant. Change is everywhere and living with change is part of the "modern condition". As the various transformations of social work are articulated, their influence becomes apparent. Each process will constitute a theme around which the content of this book is introduced. Although these processes are interdependent, each will be dealt with in turn.
