Adult Autism

Where treatment and health care is no longer able to bring relief and improve functioning, social care should take over. In this chapter, we discuss the development of social care in the context of adult autism, and the range of its concerns and interests is considered. The key role of the social worker, particularly as a broker of social care, is developed. Health professionals define the need for reasonable adjustments to assessed disability, and the content of a personal passport, summarizing individual’s needs. Health professionals also have a key role in risk management, although the social worker may have a key co-ordinating role. A wide range of contexts for social care within and beyond health care is considered. The distinction between individual need and care planning, and the role of the wider society, which will be covered in Chapter 14, concludes this chapter.

Abstract Six social care professionals were recruited to take part in in-depth interviews that sought to explore their phenomenological experiences of humour within their place of work. Using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach, the results suggest that humour serves various important functions within social care. Humour can allow social care professionals to relieve themselves of negative emotions, to avoid stress and cynicism, to achieve a sense of normality and perspective and to engage with service users. The positive impact humour appears to have upon these professionals is in keeping with the humour–health hypothesis, which posits that humour enhances well-being. However, results from this study also suggest that humour may be capable of negatively impacting well-being. Arguably, these findings highlight the need to extend the humour–health hypothesis and incorporate the negative effects humour can have upon well-being. Results also indicate that, if used appropriately, humour can be utilised to benefit work performance and service user outcomes. The findings of this research hold important implications for how humour may be understood and fostered in social care training, practice and policy.

In the modern post-industrial societies services are becoming the greatest part of the economy, and through the reallocating role of state – even after the millennium changes – the role of the services organised by the communities is exceptionally high. One of these services is the social care granted by the state and (its parts) the local governments. In my article I summarise the roles of local communities and local governments of some European and non-European states in the organisation of social care. The practical and theoretical legal terms of social assistance and personal social services are presented as well as the general characteristics of models (settlement or regional municipality based) of the organisation of the services. There is also a short description of general financing issues.

We consider the formation and development features of the nurseries as a special social institution in the Tambov Governorate in the early of 20th century. The governorate and county levels of declared scientific problem consideration allows to conduct the successful reconstruction of the formation and activities of infant nurseries for foundlings, orphans in both urban and rural areas, which reflected the practice of social care and charity of “trouble children”. We reveal the implementation features of county initiatives for the social protection of foundlings and orphans, as well as the levels and forms of such support for such categories of Russian society by local authorities. We clarify the possibilities of organizing nurseries for foundlings at the governorate and county hospitals and maternity wards. We note the role of particular medical workers in the development of civic initiatives and public service in the rescue of foundlings. We identify the historiographic traditions of both domestic and foreign historians in the study of the orphans charity in the context of the social work organization and the social institutions development, including nurseries. Based on the analysis of a wide range of historical sources, it was possible to identify the most successful and effective practices of organizing nurseries both in the peaceful years and in the periods of Russian-Japanese War of 1904–1905 and World War I 1914–1918, which allowed us to consider various little-studied aspects of the stated scientific problem. We reveal the regional features of the social protection system for orphans through the prism of nursery care. We clarify the position and role of the Orthodox Church on the organization of orphan charity in monasteries during the war years of 1914–1918. We reveal the main posing issues of the prospects for studying a wide range of problems in the history of orphanhood in the Tambov Governorate in the early 20th century. We pay attention to the importance of taking into account regional specifics and specific historical manifestations of social policy when conducting a study of charitable support and private public initiatives of the considered period.

Social service is one of the humanitarian professions, and an important topic, which carries in its folds, handling of many aspects, including, the elderly category and the reality of their livelihood in social care institutions and centers. This phenomenon has emerged in several societies, including the Algerian society. Through this study, we will try to know the role of social service in caring for the elderly residing in social shelters, or what is known as the home for elderly persons, in addition to identify the skills provided by social service owners for the elderly in the care center, and the reality of their life in these centers as well as most of the methods used by social service In helping the elderly, so that the forms were posed as follows: How can the social service play its effective role in caring for the elderly? What are the methods and methods used? From the aforementioned, it must be pointed out that any study cannot be scientific except on the basis of a specific and clear methodological method in order to complete the research. We have relied in our study on two important aspects, one that includes the origins and definitions, principles and characteristics, as well as the theories of social service The second part dealt with the field study, as well as presenting and analyzing the findings

The Social

The structure and organization of health care is a salient political issue across nations and welfare states. It is important not only from an economic perspective, but also from a social and political perspective regarding the possibility of maintaininga proper qualitative level of health care as well as a system that is broadly accessible to the citizenry. Equal access to health care and social care is thus a key factor when the general quality of public life is discussed, not only in Denmark but also in many other welfare states. A common prerequisite for the existence of such a system is a strong general norm of reciprocity in social and political contexts. The norm states that everybody should contribute to our common welfare by working, paying taxes and participating in political institutions and in return be treated as equal members (citizens) of the state. However, not all citizens are capable of working, and far from everybody has equal access to health care and social care. In theory everybody should enjoy the same rights and access to common services, but in reality the boundary between being considered entitled to and deserving of public assistance and being perceived as responsible for one’s condition is more a political than an objective measure (Stone, 1984: 26; Møller, 2009b: 235). In practice, the principle of equal access is interpreted and implemented by doctors who treat patients, health care professionals promoting health strategies, caseworkers who manage clients and schoolteachers teaching children and at the end of the day it is professionals like them who decide who is given access to services, transactions, preventive interventions and treatments.In health care the diagnostic system works as a platform for deciding who should treat which citizens with what, but in social care such a system is more invisible. Instead the main criterion for access to services and transactions is a systemdesigned to detect and measure the workability of every assistance-seeking citizen. The method of evaluating assistance-seeking citizens’ workability seeks to differentiate between needs and claims because an absolute main reason why citizens cannot maintain a job and need to apply for public support is health problems such as chronic pain, for which they seek medical, psychological or therapeutic help. On an economic level this demand of public support is often seen as creating incentives to exploit the social sector to reduce labor costs; on a practical level it constitutes a difficult and paradoxical interplay between the role of the doctor, the social worker and the idea of the independent citizen, in theory, the equal member of the state. This volume focuses explicitly on the case of chronic pain in such different social and political contexts.

Rescaling social care services: The case of district municipalities in Istanbul

Social care is an immature welfare policy domain in Turkey, with three distinctive characteristics: the central role of the family, limited public expenditure, and low levels of institutionalization and professionalization. However, following local legislative reform in 2004, municipalities have become important actors in social care provision, initiating social care programs for local citizens. This article fills a gap in the existing literature by focusing on the smallest administrative units of the local welfare system: the district municipalities. The article explores and compares the emerging role of district municipalities in social care provision in selected districts of Istanbul to assess, in the context of an immature welfare system, how far they fulfill the principle of universal provision. It finds that while service provision capacity was increased by localization to an extent, the social care provision capacity that district municipalities developed is not sufficient to transform social care policies into one that conforms to the principle of universalism. Due to coordination problems and the wide service area defined by the law, district municipalities ‘pick and choose’ service beneficiaries, instead of ensuring equal access for all local citizens.

Care System

In volume 120 of Theory and Struggle (pp. 124-33), I described Unison North West’s Care Workers for Change campaign and how our multidimensional approach to organising in the care sector was informed by the work of John Kelly (Rethinking Industrial Relations: Mobilization, Collectivism and Long Waves, 1998) and Jane McAlevey (No Short Cuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age, 2016). The Covid-19 pandemic has subsequently brought unprecedented catastrophe and human suffering to vulnerable people and workers in our dysfunctional social care system. This contribution first describes the impact of Covid-19 on social care and union responses to it. The focus then turns to competing ideas about how the social care system might be reshaped and the role of unions in pursuing meaningful structural and institutional change that could win lasting improvements for care workers.
