Social work is celebrated as a human rights profession (United Nations Center for Human Rights 1994, Ife 2012). There is of course a nod to international social work language in the later chapters.

Children and families
Social work with children and families
Typically, legislation places certain key powers and duties in relation to children's services to certain statutory bodies, often those anchored in local authorities. Today, the municipal department of children's services is usually known simply as municipal children's services, although variants such as children's services are also in use.
Childhood
Youth
Such perspectives see youth in terms of youth cultures and youth subcultures, located in a specific historical period.
The Children Act 1989
Other facilities listed elsewhere in the list include “facilities to reduce the need for care procedures,” “facilities for disabled children,” and family centers.
Children’s rights and parents’ rights
Indeed, Britain still practices forced adoptions, i.e. adoptions without the consent of the child's biological parents. This is possible with the argument that it is in the child's best interests.
Child protection and care orders
The exact procedural formalities for responding to child protection concerns vary from country to country. In many countries, various reports and reviews of child protection services have led to numerous recommendations for sweeping reforms.
Child abuse
Institutional child abuse refers to the abuse of children in foster care: orphanages or boarding schools for example. Child abuse due to a belief in spirit possession is when the abuser believes the child is possessed by an evil spirit.
Child sexual abuse
When discussing genitalia and other body parts with children, medicalized terms such as penis or vagina may be used, but less formal words are typically used for the private parts such as willy, allowing children to express themselves in their own language. When investigating child sexual abuse and identifying child sexual offenders, we sometimes use terms such as sexually related conduct (or relating to sexual conduct) and sexually harmful conduct.
Child neglect, emotional abuse, and physical abuse
Child abuse and neglect has a range of short-term and long-term effects on the child. Depending on the type of abuse, the following behaviors may be observed in an abused child, although they are rarely clear.
Youth work
An example would be addressing youth violence by requiring youth who are prone to violence to participate in anger management training.
Forms of youth work
Although racism is often associated with far-right youth, such projects often involve working with all young people to universally promote intercultural awareness.
Community family services
71 families with multiple problems, families with serious or entrenched problems, families with complex problems or families at risk of family breakdown.
Early education
75 to integrate child care and specialized services for children with a range of support services for parents, all offered in one facility.
Looked after children
Young people who experience multiple placements are sometimes informally described as driving forces in the child care system. Permanency is therefore central to planning placements, and social workers in England are formally involved in permanency planning. In addition to long-term foster care and long-term residential care, two further options are possible.
A special guardian is someone who lives with the child in an arrangement similar to adoption, but where the biological parent does not lose parental responsibility.
Foster care
In addition to supporting the carers in their foster parenting, and together with the birth parents, foster social workers do direct work with children to ensure that the child's voice is heard. Such work can support the child to maintain birth family contact, help prepare for permanency and reduce the chance of foster placement failure.
Residential child care
87 Whether in short-stay accommodation or long-term accommodation, daily life in the living space of the unit is an opportunity for personal development.

Education welfare
These responsibilities typically include child labour, homeschooling (England does not have compulsory education as in some countries), the children of Roma and Travelers, and child protection.
Disabled people
Disability
However, it is worth noting that the WHO's definitions of disability can be more comprehensive than some legal definitions. Although the ICF understanding of disability moves away from deficit-oriented approaches, the focus on limitations and restrictions still emphasizes what people cannot do. The flourishing movements of disability sports and disability arts provide a good illustration of the latter.
Disability studies
Special education
In England, a declaration of special needs is issued in cases of particularly large support needs. When support is needed, but the disability threshold for special needs is not met, a student can be said to have additional needs.
Disability and allied professions
111 professionals may include art therapists, drama therapists, music therapists, dieticians, occupational therapists, physical therapists, prosthetists, orthotists, psychologists, forensic psychologists, psychotherapists, speech and language therapists, and nurses.
Physical disability
People with disabilities can make various adaptations at home, putting on shower handles or lowering kitchen tables, for example.

Learning difficulties
British people thus speak of a specific learning disability (readers should be aware that North Americans confusingly shorten this term to learning disabilities). Key ICD 10 groups here are the specific reading disorder (including developmental dyslexia, sometimes simply called dyslexia), the specific spelling disorder and the specific arithmetic skills disorder. Finally, to further confuse the reader, it should be noted that the term learning disability is used in two additional contexts.
First, adults with severe learning difficulties use it to describe themselves as having learning difficulties. Secondly, in the British SEN context, the term learning disability is used to denote the specific barrier to learning that a child has because of their disability. In England, support for pupils with borderline and moderate learning difficulties is usually provided in a mainstream school setting.
Severe learning difficulties
A final ICD 10 category of disorders that should be mentioned here are the developmental disorders known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders. This behavior is sometimes described as autistic behavior, but it is worth being careful with the English adjective autistic, which is rarely used. learning difficulties ﱡ Dت ﺑ, ُ@ . learning disability ﱡ ا 9 I إ .. person with an intellectual disability FھذQْ َ\Lﻣ X ُs1A person with learning problems ﱡ Dت ﺑ, @وئs1A person with a learning disability ﱡ ا 9 I إو.

Care, support, assistance, and therapy
Disability, rehabilitation, and work
From institutional care to assistance
This change can be seen in terms of a paradigm shift from integration to inclusion. Inclusion goes further than integration in terms of its view of disability equality and commitment to social change. Decades of international campaigning led to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Salamanca Declaration and finally the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
People with mental health problems
- Mental health and mental illness
- Mental health social work
- Mental health problems
- Psychiatric therapy and treatment
Social stigma is widely attached to mental health problems, and few disorders can be easily 'cured'. Mental health services (or psychiatric services, as psychiatrists prefer to say) used to be dominated by inpatient care. Crisis intervention to deal with psychiatric emergencies and psychiatric crises is therefore a key part of mental health.
In mental health legislation, when certain criteria are met, patients can be detained (or, in very informal British English, sectioned). A patient is known as an involuntary patient or, in England, a person detained under the Mental Health Act 1983. The treatment and therapy of mental problems is sometimes separated into different groups of interventions: biological interventions, social.
Drug and alcohol users
Dependence
Relapse is likely a part of recovery, and relapse prevention and relapse management are usually considered an integral part of the rehabilitation and aftercare process.
Alcohol and medication
Sedatives, hypnotics and painkillers based on opiates can cause addiction, especially when taken for a long time, and sometimes we also talk about drug abuse.
Illegal drugs
In addition, there are complex ethical and legal issues surrounding the sharing of information about contacts with illicit drug users.
Older people
Gerontology and ageing
Inequality in old age can severely limit individuals' opportunities to experience successful aging, active aging, or productive aging. Health inequalities in old age or poverty in pensioners can, for example, have a profound impact on experiences of old age. Policies on aging (also known as aging policies) such as pension policies have a major impact on the lives of older people.
Representations of aging and views of aging often focus on stereotypes of old age. Ageism often has its roots in negatively perceived aspects of aging, such as physical deterioration, mental deterioration, dependence on others, and lack of productivity. Combating ageism, combating age discrimination and promoting respect for older people are thus central social work tasks.
Social work with older people
Services for the elderly also include services for caregivers, the family members who care for their disabled relatives. Such services include advice for carers, counseling for carers and support groups for carers. elderly LّFِ/ُ ا/ ّLِ/ار #S . demographic change 9ا ), د ZD.
Ageing and care
Euthanasia should not be confused with the similar concepts of assisted suicide and physician-assisted suicide.
Offenders
Criminal law
Formally, crimes in England are classified according to the court where they are tried, and in order of seriousness they can be misdemeanors, misdemeanors in any case, or just indictable offences. The suspect is either found not guilty, i.e. acquitted, or found guilty, i.e. convicted.
