Monday 25 January 2010 The number of primary school pupils gaining level 4, which is the benchmark that we use, has risen significantly. I mentioned the GCSE results at Battersea Park school, The House met at half-past Two o’clock but the results of other secondary schools up and down the country also show a significant improvement. Are we satisfied with that and do we want to do more? Of PRAYERS course we want to do more, which is why we are introducing one-to-one tuition in primary schools. Such tuition will be carried on into secondary schools and [MR.SPEAKER in the Chair] will be backed up by the resources and investment needed.

    This article first appeared in December 2005’s edition of Professional Social Work magazine A Question of Principles What makes a Social Worker a Social Worker? There’s never been a more opportune moment to be writing this article on the essence of social work. The profession is at a critical point, in new potentially contradictory contexts. This discussion focuses mainly on developments in England but is relevant to emerging developments in the rest of the UK. With the introduction of the new social work degree from 2003, registration and protection of title of ‘social worker’ from April 2005, new financial investment in the form of bursaries for social work students and a new post-qualifications framework (by 2007), the future for social work looks rosy. Politically these changes have been owned and promoted: Stephen Ladyman described them as playing “an important part in raising standards in social work practice(1).” At the same time there have been changes, leading to ambiguity about the territory and importance of social work in its own right. ‘Social Care’ is now the predominant term used since the mid-‘90s rather than ‘social services’ and indeed ‘social work’, evidenced in the titles of the UK Care Councils. The question is, is it now an inclusive term relating to a wide range of care, of which social work is a highly qualified part, or does it represent a dilution of the special nature of social work into a more generic alternative to health care, mopping up all the areas of community based service as health services are more carefully redefined by cost and capacity? Thomas & Pierson (2001) define social care as “assistance given to people to maintain themselves physically and socially…in residential and day care centres and…at home,…distinguished from health care” and care given by a family member (2) – neatly avoiding all the contested areas that social work can include.

Le Coup du Parapluie Macbeth et Columbo à Scotland Yard Sarah HATCHUEL et Nathalie VIENNE-GUERRIN Cet article se propose d’analyser un épisode de la série Columbo intitulé « Dagger of the Mind » (1972) au cœur duquel se trouve le Macbeth de Shakespeare. Nous examinons la tension que cet épisode met en œuvre entre une série américaine du XXe siècle, Columbo, d’un côté, et la pièce de Shakespeare, Macbeth, de l’autre. La mise en miroir des deux oeuvres suggérée dès les premières images et reprise au cours de l’enquête invite à explorer comment Columbo et Macbeth s’articulent, ce que Macbeth fait à Columbo et ce que Columbo fait à Macbeth, notamment dans le contexte britannique qui caractérise l’épisode et tranche avec le décor habituellement américain de la série.

  • A Minister of State for Social Care
    Remedying a sector in crisis: A case for the reinstatement of a Minister of State for Social Care Foreword In 2008, the then Labour Government, led by Gordon Brown, appointed Phil Hope as the Minister of State for Social Care2 – the first time social care had been given such a senior post. The portfolio continued until July 2016, when Prime Minister Theresa May appointed David Mowat in the new role of Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Community Health & Care. No-one who Hft believes that this reshuffle has ‘demoted’ social care to a lower tier of minister, and is a step back in terms of hasn’t been a addressing the challenges facing the social care sector.

Ongoing legal uncertainties regarding payments for Sleep-In shifts could see the sector face back payments of between £400-600 million. As a charity in the learning disability sector Hft is increasingly supporting individuals with complex needs and challenging behaviours, many of whom require larger, more expensive care packages. Like the population at large, adults with learning disabilities are leading longer, healthier lives, meaning that they will require more support throughout their lifetime.
