This article proposes establishing a new model for making civil legal proceedings accessible to persons with disabilities, combining therapeutic jurisprudence principles with the requirements of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The model suggests integration of a social worker to act as a coordinator for advising judges and prepare litigants using the ICCAP model: identification, communication, courtroom, attorney, and preparation. The model aims to ensure convention principles and relevant laws are implemented, adapting proceedings to the unique needs of persons with disabilities, thereby improving court accessibility and promoting access to justice for persons with disabilities.

Extremism is a global threat, and preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) is a worldwide challenge. As a soft-power approach, social work can play a crucial role in P/CVE. This study explores professional concepts and their impact on P/CVE regarding Islamism through eight semi-structured interviews with practitioners in Germany, analyzed using a reconstructive-documentary approach. Findings suggest that social work can contribute significantly to P/CVE if it avoids acting as a repressive agent and focuses on advocacy. Integrating social justice approaches into P/CVE is essential for reducing stigmatization and fostering emancipation. The study demonstrates how professional practice can influence problem perceptions and policies.

Professional socialisation is a complex and interactive process through which professional roles and skills are learned and internalised. In social work, this complexity is due to a changing professional landscape, contested discourses and differing organisational contexts. This article reports on an Australian study exploring the perceptions and experiences of early career social workers and supervisors on professional socialisation. The study used qualitative methods to interview 18 participants. The findings highlighted the importance of recognition of subjective experiences, negotiating power and supervision. The findings can inform practice guides and policies for graduate programmes and practice settings.

This article is the result of the European Project Er (Key Action KA203) called ‘LEMA “Learning from the Margins” Social inclusion of highly marginalised young people urban settings’ (ref.: 2019-1-DK01-KA203-060285). The project analysed the situation of Young Migrants Formerly in State Care in Spain. The aim of the article is to analyse the employment situation experienced by professionals working in the care sector. The methodology used was Educational Research Squared. The results explore the current system, which is essentially project-based and prevents more appropriate socio-educational actions from being undertaken. The main conclusion is that joint action by the administrations involved is needed to enable a coordinated, efficient and more collaborative model.

This study used the conceptual lens of familisation and defamilisation to examine how different social safety net policy instruments shape low-income family processes. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 welfare recipients in Shanghai and Taipei. The study reveals unique patterns under non-Western and low-income contexts. Means-tested cash transfers inadvertently reinforced familisation processes; defamilisation tendencies were observed in subsidies and services tailored for children and parents, and a hybrid process emerged from employment support. Given that low-income families value both defamilisation and familisation measures, the study highlights the critical need for social safety net policies to balance these components.

Moral distress among South African child protection social workers (CPSWs) remains unexplored despite familiarity with the concept. A qualitative analysis of interviews with 20 CPSWs in two South African provinces interpreted their reports of workplace risk through a moral distress lens. Thematic analysis identified that internal and external constraints are contributing to experiences of moral distress among CPSWs in South Africa, paving the way for developing solutions to mitigate these causes. Policy-level changes, operational improvements for CPSWs, and guidance to help CPSWs create their own solutions, might follow because of the dissemination of our study findings.

Social work practice has become increasingly concerned with decolonization and anti-oppressive approaches. Both terms can be ambiguous and practice examples are often difficult to identify. This article describes the Jamaican Diaspora movement and its use of transnational communities to broker power and resist the status quo, serving as examples of decolonial and anti-oppressive orientations. The authors trace the evolution of the Diaspora as a transnational movement, and discuss how centering interdependence and community can be used to move practice toward decolonization. Implications for social work practice and education are discussed, particularly as it relates to serving diverse racial/ethnic communities.
