100%
EN
In this article the theory of social work will be discussed more specifically. By «theory of social work» I mean the field of science, the subject of which is the practice of social work. The primary aim of this article is to present it as the science and not only describe various theories developed in the context of this doctrine.

The following article analyzes the relationship between social pedagogy, social policy and the system of care and social assistance. The term “system of care and social assistance” should be understood here as widely as possible. It is therefore not only of direct support and assistance in the form of social work, social care homes, etc., but with all the services provided by the state forms of support, ranging from different types of activation in areas of poverty and exclusion, by solving the problems of addiction, to the organization of assistance to the sick or old. Therefore it is not only to reduce this system to social assistance. Thus understood, the welfare system is an area of practical activity, intended to produce specific social change.

The definition of social work

100%
EN
The object of social work are both the individuals and social groups (families or more extended communities). Depending on which groups of people require help, social work arouses various requirements which from the point of view of the social workers’ education create the need for specialisation. One can distinguish several specific groups of the clients of social work: children, the old age people (gerontological nursing), ill and disabled individuals and local communities. Special problems and challenges appear when a child is its object. It happens that because in the case of children separating interim help or long-term financial assistance from the pedagogic influence is impossible, and thus from responsibility for charges’ future. Social workers do not bear full responsibility for the state of child’s future, because they share this responsibility with different subjects, it does not mean, however, that they do not bear it at all. One can distinguish two extreme positions among the theoreticians of social work: according to one of them, represented among others by H. Radlińska, social welfare institutions totally take over the responsibility for the child’s future, what is connected with the limitation of freedom, and according to the latter, such a responsibility, in practice, is not possible.

The intensity of the development of voluntary service will be in the future a road on which the main aims of social work will be realized by helping people in need. A series of tax reliefs and exemptions will be mainly the consequence of connecting this type of activity with business. A system created in this way will allow to help transfer a stream of money which will build an essential pillar for the social activity. Costs borne by voluntary service were lower and still will be lower than costs of strictly institutionalised organisations. Moreover, this primal idea, for which above mentioned voluntary service was set up, will be retained. One cannot also exclude such a situation when voluntary service makes up an alternative form of social activity for many people. Because for them the political activity which was discredited many times is not possible to accept. The more often a political scene will be the arena which will be losing credibility and confidence, the more often and wider will develop nongovernmental patterns of social activity including voluntary ones at every level of the organization of society. Social structures have not worked out any different alternative and it is necessary to suppose that they will never work it out. The lack of social activity, and at the same time a lack of development of voluntary service as an alternative for strongly formalised solutions is threatened with self-destruction of social structures, and in the consequence dismantling of democratic systems as a result of a decline in their efficiency.

Social Work in Poland

EN
Social Work in Poland is an online yearly supplement to the bimonthly “Praca Socjalna” published in Polish. In these supplements, we strive to present international readership the achievements and development of social work in our country which were originally presented in “Praca Socjalna”. The articles for publication in the supplement are chosen from around fifty articles printed in a given year in “Praca Socjalna”. The Editorial Board recommends articles that constitute a significant contribution to the development of social work in Poland and those which may be of interest for readers in other countries.

The purpose of the article is to show the variety (albeit limited to only some) of social action concepts, and thus the possibility of finding such theoretical foundations that can contribute to new reflection on activities performed on a volunteer basis in the field of social work.

One of the basic assumptions of the article is to reflect on the issue of a modern education system for students of social sciences, which will meet the expectations and needs of students, academic teachers, researchers, practitioners and society on the one hand, and the numerous and increasingly ambiguous challenges of modernity on the other. We pay special attention to social work as an activity and profession in which we undertake scientific, research and practical activities. The forms of education, we focus on in the article are international projects based on the implementation by students of joint educational and social projects. Their use allows to achieve the most desired effects, among which one should distinguish the increase of awareness and reflectiveness, the pursuit of critical (self)development of young people and increases openness to knowledge, experience, innovation and changes. To exemplify, we used the analysis of an international project titled Social work with mentally ill people and their families in Germany, France and Poland implemented in cooperation with partner schools at the Institute of Sociology of the Jagiellonian University.

The practice of social work shows that innovations in social work are introduced slowly and their application often meets with resistance from social workers. The article presents the results of a survey conducted in August 2015 among the employees of the Warsaw Social Welfare Centre. The research was largely exploratory (cognitive) and was aimed at identifying the concerns of employees connected with the separation of social work from administrative actions related to services provision. The purpose of the study was also to see how much interest in innovation there is in social work and to check how much knowledge on the subject the SWC employees have.

The volunteer work becomes an important element of the public domain which needs qualitative changes and creation of a new social consciousness. Characteristic features of the volunteer work are mainly connected with the fact that it focuses on a human being in need. They can also be connected with social work as a supporting activity for people in various difficult situations. Although the history of social work shows many examples of relations between volunteer work and professional social work – contemporary volunteer work cannot be identified with social work. However, the activities of many students of social studies in associations and non-governmental organizations are very important for their personal and professional development, creating their competences and gaining experiences for the future professional work. Reflections concerning the volunteer work and its role in the field of social work education are important and may be treated as an element of discussion concerning education in connection with democracy and social/public activity in general. The article includes theoretical analysis of the selected aspects of volunteer work and professional social work, discovering the possible similarities and differences between those forms of social activity and emphasizing the role of volunteer work in shaping the professional competences within the field of social work.

The reflection on the idea of empowerment has been strongly emphasized in numerous theoretical studies in recent years. There are numerous values of this concept, however difficulties arise with the moment of transition it from the theoretical to the practical perspective. There are many situations where the subjective approach penetrates with the no subjective one. The purpose of this article is to explore the (non)subjective support relationship in social work (among clients, families and social workers) as a not obvious, barrier-restricted and not always able to use in practice. The analysis of the issue was conducted in the context of different conditions, e.g. functioning of social welfare clients, the work of professionals and the social welfare system, and the impact of these factors on the way how the helping relationship was created. The answer to the question if the helping relationship in social work can become subjective is not easy at the moment. As the authors emphasized in the final conclusions, the subjectivity in the helping process has the opportunity to appear in the strengths-based social work practice, especially in empowerment approach, Solution Focused Approach, Family Conference Group, Video Interaction Training or Motivational Interviewing. The article also presents the possibilities and dilemmas of applying these approaches in the practice of social work.

The aim of the article is to review the applicable normative acts related to the divorce of parents from the point of view of risk and the opportunities they create for the situation of the child and the family. The authors draw attention to the responsibility of social workers and family assistants in the process of supporting families in this crisis. The increasing number of divorces in Poland obliges researchers to undertake scientific discussions and conduct reliable scientific research, the results of which will also be changes in the practical approach of professionals working with families. The first part of the article focuses on the negative consequences of the development of children who are witnesses and victims of a family crisis and the relationship between children and parents. The authors emphasise the essence of tasks undertaken in social work addressed to the whole family experiencing a crisis caused by the breakdown of the parents’ marriage. In the last part of the article, the authors take up a polemic about supervision in social work, as an example of good practice in developing the competence of family assistants and social workers in their professional work.

The article attempts to present the process of professionalization of social work in Poland after 1989. It was shown in terms of the classical attribution model and in the concept of Abbott, in which the essence of the pro-fessionalization process is primarily the functioning of the profession in a complex system of internal and exter-nal dependencies. Analyses indicate that the process of professionalization of social work in Poland is currently far incomplete, and the ongoing and planned changes in the social welfare system are unlikely to favour its development. We deal with specific monopolistic practices of the state in shaping the institutional foundations of social assistance in accordance with the interests of the central administration, which seeks to shift responsibility for implemented activities to external entities, retaining full and even increased possibilities of exerting influence and control. This is also reflected in the ongoing attempt to standardize social services, which is ultimately an element of deprofessionalisation of social work

The aim of this article is to present the new model of social work introduced on a pilot basis at the Social Welfare Centre in Bielany district in Warsaw. What is innovative about this model is the way of conducting professional, in-depth social work by a social worker who is not troubled by preparation and payment of social assistance benefits. This solution meets the needs expressed for years, both in the concept of a new law on social assistance and in experts’ opinions, to separate tasks concerning the administrative procedures from the proper social work. In this article I would like to show how the proposed changes have been implemented in current state of law and how the division of tasks performed by social workers functions.
