    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.
