Social Work today ...

  • A profession under siege?
  • Budgets creating pressure on

services

  • Narrowing of the definition of Social

Work?

  • Process not value led?
  • .... but every day Social Workers

are doing extraordinary work with children and families.

Two quotes

  • A child’s current behaviour is often

an essentially sane response to an untenable set of life circumstances

Madge Bray

  • We cannot waste our precious
  • children. Not another one, not

another day. It is long past time for us to act on their behalf.

Nelson Mandela & Graça Machel.

Restorative Practice is …

  • Different from Restorative

Justice.

  • About building, maintaining and

restoring relationships.

  • It is not a model or a tool, it is a

way of being.

  • High challenge, High support

What are we doing?

  • Creating a new social contract

between the state and citizens where restorative approaches are an entitlement for families coming into contact with our services.

  • Developing a model which focuses on

working with people not doing things for people, doing things to them … or doing nothing at all.

  • Based on the “four ways of being”

window.
