Subject: Professionalism, de-professionalisation and austerity
Public services in the UK are being undermined by austerity, marketisation and welfare reform. The latest issue of Social Work & Social Sciences Review shows how successive neo-liberal governments have used de-professionalisation in social work and health as a weapon to advance free market ideologies at the expense of public services.
The issue examine how different professions in health, social care and education have developed their identity, and analyses the process of de-professionalisation within an employment culture increasingly dominated by the values and assumptions of capitalism, globalisation and inequality.
In contrast a counter-narrative is offered for articulating an anti-austerity position, with the aim of contextualising discussions of the future development of professionalism.
Case studies look at the
• the Children and Social Work Act 2017 and the successful Together for Children campaign against proposals to exempt local authorities from key existing statutory duties.
• the strike by NHS junior doctors during 2016. Much media coverage of the strike was negative, portraying it not as ‘principled’ action, but as ‘politically motivated’, This tarnished the image of ‘doctors as professionals’, resulting in a potential loss of public trust.
For free access to the special issue is available until 15th November. Visit:
