Austerity's impacts on the healthcare, social care and education professions are under the spotlight in this important book. From scarcer resources to greater stresses, and falling training budgets to rising risks, it charts how policies and cuts have compromised workers' ability to undertake their professional roles. It combines research and practice experience to assess the extent of de-professionalisation in recent years and how workers have responded. This book is a vital review of how austerity has resculpted our notions of professionalism.

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY licence. Young people transitioning out of care towards independence, work and adulthood are on the edge of these phases of life. Considering previously neglected groups of care leavers such as unaccompanied migrants, street youth, those leaving residential care, young parents and those with a disability, this book presents cutting-edge research from emerging global scholars. The collection addresses the precarity experienced by many care leavers, who often lack the social capital and resources to transition into stable education, employment and family life. Including the voices of care leavers throughout, it makes research relevant to practitioners and policymakers aiming to enable, rather than label, vulnerable groups.

Soziale Arbeit ist ein wichtiger Teil der medizinischen Rehabilitation. Die Ausgestaltung ihrer Leistungen und ihre potentielle Wirkung blieben bislang allerdings unklar. An dieser Stelle setzen die Autor*innen an und präsentieren die Ergebnisse des Forschungsprojekts SWIMMER: Im Rahmen eines qualitativen Forschungsprojekts wurde die sozialarbeiterische Praxis von Sozialdiensten medizinischer Reha-Einrichtungen untersucht und ein Wirkmodell der Sozialen Arbeit in diesem Bereich entwickelt. Die vergleichende Darstellung der Resultate richtet sich sowohl an Sozialarbeiter*innen als auch an Verantwortliche in den Reha-Einrichtungen, die ihre eigene Praxis reflektieren und einen tieferen Einblick in gängige Arbeitsstrukturen der Sozialdienste erhalten wollen.
