This text introduces the relationship between social work and political and ideological perspectives in society in the UK, through 14 chapters contributed by social work specialists from the UK. They address the historical and contemporary context of political ideologies, including the relationship between political parties and ideological perspectives like socialism, liberalism, and neoliberalism, conservatism, and feminism, and the influence of these perspectives on the provision of social welfare in general, with comparative perspectives on key international issues; how these perspectives have influenced social work, particularly work with adults, child protection, mental health, and criminal justice; and the influence of political ideologies on more diverse areas of practice, particularly insecurity, migration and asylum, abuse and exploitation, addiction, and radicalization.

This valuable book provides a comprehensive introduction to politics in social work, unifying the themes of political ideology and social construction across several areas of social work practice, including emerging areas of practice.

It is essential that social work students understand the lasting impact political decision making can have on service users, yet little guidance exists on this subject. This valuable book provides a comprehensive introduction to politics in social work, unifying the themes of political ideology and social construction across several areas of social work practice, including emerging areas of practice. The book: •Introduces the dominant political ideologies in the UK; •Examines the impact of these ideological perspectives on different demographic groups; •Explores emerging areas of growing political interest such as radicalisation; •Employs case studies and examples from practice to aid student understanding. Including helpful key points to guide reading at the beginning of each chapter, as well as exercises for seminars and further reading recommendations, this text will be an invaluable resource to all students in social work.
