Welcome to my website, not an elaborate affair, but intended to be helpful to those who want to understand more of the development of social work in the UK since the 1950s and the context in which this development has taken place. Why now? I believe the “social work project”, as I like to call it, is under great strain at the present time, but there are great opportunities. As I am coming to the end of my career and this issue has meant a great deal to me over many years, I want to share some of my thoughts with those who are similarly concerned.
