Synopsis

Promoting social inclusion is central both in the legislation guiding social work and in its professional ethical principles. Although promoting social inclusion is considered a self-evident task in social work, it has nevertheless remained surprisingly vague as a concept, theoretical framework, and practice.

This edited volume [Social Inclusion in Social Work] organizes and clarifies theoretical and methodological discussions about social inclusion within the discipline of social work through multiple perspectives and methods. The chapters of the book reflect on different approaches to social inclusion and how it is realized in practice, thereby strengthening the theoretical and practical knowledge base around social inclusion, while also raising important questions for further consideration.

The chapters examine social inclusion across various fields and contexts of social work and services, such as social work with families with children and with young adults, adult social work, outreach work with older adults, social work with migrants, social work with people with disabilities, and social work with women in prison. Organized by life stages, the book focuses particularly on youth, young adults, adults, and older people as clients of social work and services. Social inclusion is approached not only from the clients' perspective but also from the viewpoint of professionals working in social work and services.
