<p>Looking at practices in different locations is beneficial since it helps challenge assumptions that we may take for granted. Groupwork, as a method of social work, is specifically interesting to explore in the light of different contexts since, like social work, it may or may not translate well across cultures. This paper draws from data collected in the context of a research project that aimed to describe the current state of social work with groups in Quebec and to explore trends within social work with groups elsewhere in the world. Specifically, it focuses on the exploration of practices in Quebec and discusses them in relationship to those found in the USA, as a counterpoint. Our findings highlight some differences and similarities between Quebec and the USA with regard to groupwork, which leads us to discuss a range of factors that may impact on groupwork in the different contexts. Of these, the differences of organisational context and organisation of services have emerged as particularly noteworthy, which echoes findings in general social work literature with regard to the importance of local contexts on the definition of practice itself.</p>

Abstract The anticipated change of social work regulator in England from the Health and Care Professions Council to Social Work England in 2019 will herald the third, national regulator in seven years for the social work profession. Social Work England will be a new, bespoke, professionally specific regulator established as a non-departmental public body with a primary objective to protect the public. Looking globally, we can observe different approaches to the regulation of the social work profession—and many different stages of the profession’s regulatory journey between countries. Using a comparative policy analysis approach and case studies, this article looks more closely at three countries’ arrangements and attempts to understand why regulation might take the shape it does in each country. The case studies examine England, the USA (as this has a state approach, we focus on New York) and New Zealand, with contributions from qualified social work authors located within each country. We consider that there are three key elements to apply to analysis: definition of role and function, the construction of the public interest and the attitude to risk.

Social Work History

My purpose in this article is to illustrate how framing social work in the life world of Ada Sheffield, a largely forgotten woman, yields not only knowledge and understanding, but may exemplify a way of doing social work history. The article draws on two kinds of material. First, I have developed a provisional, if still incomplete, bibliography of her work, included as an annex to this article. Second, I have searched the various Eliot archives in the USA and England to discover what survives of her correspondence. Through her surviving correspondence with her brother, T S (‘Tom’) Eliot, I take Ada Sheffield’s life experiences and thoughts – her self-consciousness – as the frame, wishing insistently to hear her voice. The article is written largely around a single year, which acts as a point of balance for her life. I conclude with several more direct suggestions for social work implications. I briefly attempt an outline of what would constitute her intellectual biography.
