Synopsis

Social Distance in Social Work: COVID Capsule One

A social work student facing eviction from his home and experiencing food insecurity authored this book in the hope that it could get his voice heard. As a single dad living in a council estate block of flats, Dominic @SingleDadSW lets the reader into an environment drenched in poverty. He invites some of the leading thinkers, practitioners, and people with lived experience of services to discuss the impact of the COVID crisis.

The COVID crisis made everyone aware of keeping their distance from other people because of health concerns, but SingleDadSW was reflecting on the distance between people due to poverty, culture, class, and other factors. Social Distance in Social Work: COVID Capsule One is both an action in the face of destitution, and a collection of notes from the crisis. A collection of pieces that he has curated to tell a story and capture a moment in time.

A book that discusses established and new approaches in Social Work:

• Social Justice & Social Distance
• Food Poverty & Food Insecurity
• Lived Experience & Living Experience
• Child Protection & Social Harms
• COVID Crisis & Crisis Capitalism
• Social Work During the Pandemic

Featuring all exclusive work by Ray Jones, Phil Watson, Brid Featherstone, Cal Webb, Gerry Nosowska, Simon Haworth, Lewis Roberts, Ian Gould, Phil Watson, Liz Howard, Jude Currie, Duane Phillips, Alison Briggs, Will Mason, and more... includes a foreword by Ruth Allen, chief executive of the British Association of Social Workers.
