In this third issue of 2023, we are glad to offer you 14 read-worthy contributions. The first article presents outcomes for persons who have been supported by child welfare services in Norway related to upper secondary school, employment, financial assistance and health-related benefits. This study provides a more nuanced account of upper secondary education, employment, health-related benefits and financial assistance than previous studies have done. The second article traces the development of social work in Israel’s Arab society at the turn of the millennium (1996–2006) based on semi-structured interviews with Arab social workers who worked in the profession at the time. They discovered that there were two parallel social work paradigms at the time – one for the country’s Jewish citizens and the second, far poorer, for her Arab citizens – that evolved against the backdrop of the ongoing Israeli-Arab conflict and the definition of Israel as a Jewish state. The third contribution refers to emotional nurturance as a fundamental feature of all forms of professional caring. Drawing on feminist care theory, Hochchild’s emotional labour theory and Bourdieusian social reproduction theory, as well as diverse empirical studies, this paper identifies how emotion is marginalised and misrecognised and calls for the reappraisal of emotion in professional care work in ways that appreciate tensions, contradictions and dilemmas in practice. Our fourth paper contributes to the ongoing debate about the depoliticisation of social work. The authors explore intergenerational dialogues as a non-formal approach to this debate and argue that social welfare organisations should engage in creating free space for discussions about the political nature of the profession. According to the authors, intergenerational dialogues can be seen as learning opportunities without a fixed educational agenda. The fifth paper describes three different caregiver profiles and analysed them in relation to their panorama of care, i.e. the extent to which caring is shared with other formal and informal co-carers. They conclude that in developing relevant care support, it is important to acknowledge that caregivers are not a homogenous group. In the sixth paper, the nature of child-researcher relationships and researchers’ positions are examined to further understand how to account for the impact of contexts on meaning making in research with children. According to the authors, further reflexivity in social-work research with children is called for, so that understanding of the possible dimensions of reflexivity are extended. The seventh paper reports on a study of a specialist social work service provided by local government agencies in Ireland. It draws on qualitative findings taken from interviews with social workers and explains why social workers faced challenges in upholding their professional values, regulatory obligations and continuous professional development. The authors conclude

Social work focuses on the social relationships, which the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact. The article explores Finnish social workers' reflections on utilising digital environments in client relationships during the pandemic. The article is framed by relationship-based social work. The data consist of two datasets that together form a continuum: Finnish social workers' personal diaries from mid-March to the end of May 2020, and interviews with 17 diary writers conducted in April and May 2021. The research questions are: What kind of challenges related to relationships can be identified in the early phase of the pandemic? What were the facilitators for conducting relationships as the pandemic continues? What kind of practice began to emerge as the pandemic proved to be long-standing? The diaries and interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Three themes were identified: relationships drifting into danger, reconstitution of relationships and emerging opportunity for relationship-based social work. The results demonstrate serious challenges, but also new opportunities, as well as temporal variation and contextual change related to relationship-based social work during the pandemic.

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to envision a way of bringing political dimensions into the mainstream of social work. Departing from a critique of the long-standing inability of conventional social work to address social problems in political terms, the article conceptualises social work as a profoundly political terrain and argues for the need to make space for politics at all levels – from the administrative procedures of statutory social work to advocacy campaigns and community work aimed at political reform. By using the works of Chantal Mouffe, the article brings together radical political theory and the critique of a depoliticised profession to suggest a framework for the politicisation of social work. If social work is to credibly invoke ideals such as social justice and human rights, it must create a space where such aspirations can be politically articulated and claimed as part of an agonistic struggle to radicalise democracy. Given the profoundly political nature of a discipline and profession that deals with human suffering, the article frames social work as an agonistic project with ambitions to take an active part in political conjunctures, as well as in the construction of political visions towards a more just world.
