One Hundred Years of Health Related Social Work

Alternative title
Basw Centenary Video
Synopsis
Presents an insight into the history and practice of health-related social work. From almoner to social worker, the illustrations, which include eight dramatised episodes, a 1945 film clip and an interview, explore many of the moral and ethical issues that face users, carers and professionals in social work and health care. Work with adults and children facing illness, poverty, disability and death provide a reminder that values and principles endure, though language and context may change. Produces as a tribute to the pioneers of health-related social work and as an encouragement to present-day practioners.
