Читать книгу Social Work with Sex Offenders - Cowburn Malcolm - Страница 13

When we refer to ‘social workers’, we do not assume a homogeneous identity, common type of work placement or qualified status. We recognise that workers have a range of intersecting identities, for example, gender, ethnicity, class, age, sexuality, (dis)ability and faith. These will variously affect how they engage in social work. We ask readers not to make assumptions as to the identities of social workers in the case studies and the practice-based learning exercises, but to consider the exercises firstly from their own identifications and then secondly from other positions.
