ABSTRACTThis article discusses three policy ideas that address the limitations of the traditional welfare state: universal basic income (UBI), universal basic services (UBS), and the social economy. As a lens from which to evaluate these policy alternatives, we develop a concept of active citizenship as an interactive and recursive process between people’s equal political influence and the institutional conditions in which they are placed. While the social policy discourse on active citizenship has centred on the debate between increasing individual responsibilities or enhancing people’s capabilities, our conception recentres the political dimension of active citizenship as people’s capacity, not only to exercise individual self-determination, but also collective self-determination over shared conditions. We conclude that, in addition to the conditions for security and autonomy, opportunities for organised social cooperation are necessary to achieve a virtuous cycle between people’s political influence and the institutions that support it.KEYWORDS: Active citizenshipuniversal basic incomeuniversal basic servicessocial economywelfare state Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 See Bidadanure (Citation2019, 492–494) for a review of the feminist debate on basic income.2 Gough (Citation2020, 4) argues that UBS has significant implications for social equality by demonstrating that in-kind benefits are worth around 76% of the post-tax incomes of the bottom quintile compared to 24% of the fourth quintile and 14% of the richest.3 See Moulaert and Ailenei (Citation2005) for a historical overview of the social economy in the European context.4 See Hendriks and Dzur (Citation2022) for discussion of citizen-led governance over collective problems from the perspective of their implications for democracy.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea [grant number NRF-2021S1A5A2A01070179]; Japan Society for the Promotion of Science [grant number 21KK0030].Notes on contributorsChikako EndoChikako Endo is Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Human Sciences, Osaka University.

ABSTRACT Most professionally-qualifying youth work programmes in the UK are secular programmes in mainstream universities. Current UK National Occupational Standards require youth workers to ‘Explore the concept of values and beliefs with young people’. Faith organisations form the largest sector of the UK youth work field and all youth workers need to be equipped to work inclusively with diverse communities. This research explored, through a semi-structured survey sent to programme leaders, the coverage of religion, faith and spirituality in youth work training courses in England. We found tensions in how religion, faith and spirituality are incorporated into programmes and how programme leaders think youth workers should engage with it in their practice. Where explicit content on religion, faith and spirituality is incorporated into training programmes, it tends to focus on controversial issues such as radicalisation. The survey revealed a lack of consensus across programme leaders as to how the NOS relating to values and beliefs should be interpreted and whether their graduates are being sufficiently equipped to work with diverse religious communities. The research exposes a need for more explicit recognition of the place of religion, faith and spirituality in youth work and in the curricula of secular training programmes.

This third issue of the year comes after a very successful special issue (17: 02) on ethical issues in research in social welfare policy and practice. The present issue contains general papers that were not designed for a special theme, but each has useful discussions of aspects of social welfare and ethics relevant to the journal. It also contains a couple of particularly interesting practice papers, one by a philosopher reflecting on his own experience of involvement in social welfare practice. The global reach of the journal is illustrated by the provenance of papers in this issue, with contributors coming from Sweden, Finland, Australia, Zimbabwe, and Austria, as well as the United Kingdom. The editors continue to welcome contributions to the journal from disparate sources in the belief that readers will benefit from understanding how different people in different social contexts conceptualise ethical issues in social welfare. In the first paper in this issue William Bülow of Uppsala University, Sweden, asks the question: ‘Who is Responsible for Remedying the Harm Caused to Children of Prisoners?’ He points out that it is often a cause for great concern that the children of prisoners suffer considerable harm as a result of the loss of a parent – and all that this can mean in terms of financial problems and emotional stress, even when the offender has been a cause of distress before their incarceration. He treats it as a matter of social justice, discussing four general principles that he argues are relevant to a balanced understanding of the responsibilities involved for these disadvantaged children. His focus is on responsibilities that may be identified going forward rather than seeking to apportion blame for past actions that have given rise to the present harm. However there is no avoiding the principle that those who have caused a situation to develop must be part of those who may be identified as bearing responsibility for its amelioration. Bülow also considers who may innocently benefit from social injustice, and the importance of the capacity of various agents to make a difference for such children, as well as existing commitments that may be in place requiring attention and action. The paper offers a thoughtful example of applied philosophical argument to a very practical situation concerning the social welfare of a vulnerable group whose needs and precarious position demand ethical, social and political intervention by differently positioned individuals and groups. The second paper in this issue is another substantial piece of work by a group of four Australian academics from the Latrobe University and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, and two specialist practitioners at the Independent Family Advocacy and Support, Victoria Legal Aid. The vexed relationship between parents, children and the state as represented by child protection social workers and related state agencies responsible for child health and welfare, is a lon

ABSTRACT Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and/or queer (LGBTQ) people experience profound health and social care inequalities. Research suggests that staff with negative attitudes towards LGBTQ people, are more likely to hold strong, traditional, religious beliefs. This article reports on a single case study with a newly qualified UK nurse who has since left the National Health Service. This is based on a single interview taken from a larger dataset derived from a funded scoping research study exploring religious freedoms, sexual orientation and gender identity rights in older age care spaces. The interviewee described a toxic nursing culture on a hospital ward for older people. She recounted various incidents involving homophobic and transphobic practice and LGBTQ microaggressions which reportedly impacted the quality of nursing care. The findings are considered in relation to standards for anti-oppressive practice in nursing care, and how nursing students and staff can be supported in addressing practice relating to equality and diversity issues, specifically LGBTQ issues. They confirm the direct significance of addressing the needs and circumstances of LGBTQ people in nursing curricula and ongoing professional practice, and the need to further research, evaluate and progress translation of learning into improved quality care for diverse populations.

ABSTRACT Mass violence in the United States has been shown to cause trauma for survivors. These events may also create for survivors the experience of posttraumatic growth (PTG), the facets of which include personal strength, appreciation for life, new possibilities in life, spiritual change, and enhanced relationships with others. However, the role of collective efficacy and agency in the development of PTG following mass violence remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between PTG and experiences of collective efficacy and agency among survivors of the Isla Vista, California tragedy of 2014. The mixed methods objective was to explore the interpretive context within which the agency and collective efficacy experiences occurred. Quantitative data collected in a questionnaire (n = 166) were used to inform the collection of qualitative interview data (n = 12). Participating in therapy, organizing community events, and making the decision to either leave or stay in Isla Vista positively correlated with PTG based on hierarchical regression analysis. Themes of personal agency, the importance of role, and participating in collective action emerged from interviews. This study offers unique methodological approaches to using mixed methods data to understand the experiences which contributed to PTG among survivors of a mass shooting.

ABSTRACT This article is based on qualitative research conducted in Delhi between May 2019 and October 2019 with children from the Salaam Baalak Trust (SBT) as part of a PhD. Data were collected from 30 children in focus group discussions using participatory methods, followed by semi-structured interviews. As the research was conducted among a vulnerable population (migrant street children), every effort was made to conduct the study ethically, including obtaining informed consent and upholding confidentially and anonymity. Careful consideration was given as to how to tackle sensitive issues should they arise during data collection. The children agreed that the interim findings of the research would be shared with them through SBT. In addition, the researcher considered her position in the research and applied a reflexive approach to address ethical issues as they emerged. This article sets out the ethical principles applied in this research and the process followed to uphold each principle during data collection, taking into account the vulnerability of the group being studied and the context of the study (India).
