Tough Love: Social Work, Social Exclusion and the Third Way

Bill Jordan

Department of Social Work, Amory Building, University of Exeter, Rennes Drive, Exeter EX4 4RJ, UK

Summary

This article argues that New Labour's priorities for social inclusion through employment, and for strenthening civil society, have relegated public-sector social work to a limited role in assessing and managing risks. However, as failures in the government's top-down, regulatory approach emerge, there will be new opportunities for a broader-based version of the profession to contribute to a more progressive programme.
