Social Work in the Inner City

Synopsis: Explores the conditions of social work and social workers. Contrasts the economic and social conditions of social work’s client population in Glasgow with the aims and limitations of the social work agency involved. Explores the mismatch between the social expectations of social work, the resources available for social work, and the scale of problems which they confront. Discusses the experience of social workers confronting an intensifying range and depth of problems manifested in ‘client bombardment’, with limited resources and limited control over other welfare resources.
