Starting from the principle that human beings are social beings, he showcases:
• innovative analysis of how social work’s identity and diverse streams of thought inform social professions globally;
• social work’s dual practice aims of developing human flourishing and social capital;
• community-near co-production, engaging agencies, communities and service users with practitioners from different professions to meet shared aims for social transformation;
• how populist politics and monetising economics corrodes deeply-held human and social values.
Malcolm Payne looks forward to social work practice and provision that puts people and social relationships first in meeting the challenges of twenty-first century caring and environmental crises.
