Item Metadata only Brian Williams Memorial Edition: Social Justice(Hallam Centre for Community Justice, Sheffield Hallam University, 2008) Ward, David, 1946-Item Metadata only The eco social approach in social work.(Jyvaskyla (Finland): SoPhi 58, 2001) Ward, David, 1946-Item Metadata only Empowerment and oppression: An indissoluble pairing for contemporary social work.(Sage, 2010) Ward, David, 1946-; Mullender, A.Item Metadata only Facilitation and groupwork tasks in self-directed groupwork(Metapress, 2013) Fleming, Jennie; Ward, David, 1946-Item Metadata only Groupwork(Palgrave Macmillan, 2002) Ward, David, 1946-Item Metadata only Groupwork(Palgrave, 2009) Ward, David, 1946-Item Metadata only Groupwork in management and organisational change.(London: Whiting and Birch, 2008) Ward, David, 1946-Item Metadata only How to use a consortium-working approach(London National Children's Bureau, 2010) Fleming, Jennie; Ward, David, 1946-; Yates, ScottItem Metadata only Increasing social capital to combat social exclusion; The Social Action contribution(Jyvaskyla, SoPhi, 2001) Boeck, T. G.; McCullogh, P.; Ward, David, 1946-Item Open Access Making Inter-professional Working Work: Introducing a Groupwork Perspective(Oxford University Press, 2012-12-30) Pullen Sansfacon, Annie Marie; Ward, David, 1946-Teams are an established part of organisations and are, by definition, ‘groups’—but the business discourse within which they are conceptualised, and within which teamwork takes place, discounts key aspects of groupwork, essentially related to its values. Hence, we argue, the true potential of teamwork is stifled. This is compounded in relation to interprofessional ‘teams’, by the top-down, prescriptive, policy drivers which have led to their setting-up and because of ‘new managerialism’ embedded in their operation. In other words, they are essentially ‘business’ teams and, as such, constricted. Groupwork, we argue, has the potential, first, to liberate interprofessional teams to function more successfully and hence, second, to deliver better to the service user and, third, we believe, to contribute to reducing the risks of failure in interprofessional working as exhibited in recurring ‘tragedies’. Social workers, with their values, knowledge and training in groupwork, have potentially a special role to play in facilitating interprofessional teamwork. In turn, this role, if they carry it out well, might help improve their status in the interprofessional team, where currently they often feel marginalised.Item Metadata only Making Interprofessional Working Work: Introducing a Group Work Perspective(Oxford Journals, 2012) Pullen Sansfacon, Annie Marie; Ward, David, 1946-Teams are an established part of organisations and are, by definition, ‘groups’—but the business discourse within which they are conceptualised, and within which teamwork takes place, discounts key aspects of groupwork, essentially related to its values.

Groupwork, as a method of social work, is specifi cally interesting to explore in the light of different contexts since, like social work, it may or may not translate well across cultures. This paper draws from data collected in the context of a research project that aimed to describe the current state of social work with groups in Quebec and to explore trends within social work with groups elsewhere in the world. Specifi cally, it focuses on the exploration of practices in Quebec and discusses them in relationship to those found in the USA, as a counterpoint. Our fi ndings highlight some differences and similarities between Quebec and the USA with regard to groupwork, which leads us to discuss a range of factors that may impact on groupwork in the different contexts. Of these, the differences of organisational context and organisation of services have emerged as particularly noteworthy, which echoes fi ndings in general social work literature with regard to the importance of local contexts on the defi nition of practice itself.Item Metadata only Policing the community in the 21st century(Sage, 2008) Crisp, Annette; Ward, David, 1946-Item Metadata only Probation education and training: An overview of the research.(Jessica Kingsley, 2011) Knight, C.

H.; Ward, David, 1946-Item Metadata only Self directed approach.(Routledge, 2009) Mullender, A.; Ward, David, 1946-Item Open Access Self-directed Groupwork: social justice though social action and empowerment(Policy Press, 2017-03-01) Fleming, Jennie; Ward, David, 1946-Self-directed Groupwork and its values and methodology have taken root in a range of disciplines and in peer, volunteer and professionally facilitated groups addressing a diverse range of issues and across many countries. It has promoted and sustained the mind-set and practices needed for achieving social justice through social action and community empowerment. Addressing in particular the theories which have informed Self-directed Groupwork, we show that Self-directed Groupwork is alive and well, but argue that it is vital to re-engage with the core vision and mission and to re-energise open and honest collaboration with community members and users of services as partners in change. .Item Metadata only Starting blocks: aspects of social education group work with young people.(National Youth Bureau, 1982) Burley, Dave; Harrison, Mark; Ward, David, 1946-; Ashton, JoanThis study describes how some school non-attenders were brought together to form a social education group.
