Experiences and reflections on child protection in the UK
Abstract
This article expresses some of my experiences as a social worker in the United Kingdom. In this paper, I will explore the way this field and its professionals are viewed in this specific context, before examining certain aspects of social intervention and the day to day job of a social worker, specifically in the field of child protection.
While this article does not try to be a generalization about social intervention in the United Kingdom, it attempts to give an example and open ideas of reflection around the social construction and dynamics around social work and its praxis in the particular field of child protection.
