From:Ron Shegda shared a link. Yesterday Troubling Article About Social Work Profession examiner/article/university-of-southampton-decides-to-stop-teaching-social-work These items from the story jumped out at me: o The school is internationally recognized with a reputation in research and innovation, it is a member of the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) with ties to MIT in the US and Mcgill University in Canada. o Today, if we enter the term CPS fraud or a similar request into our search engine, we are likely to receive anywhere between 4 to 13 million webpages on the subject. This is an unprecedented amount of information against any given discipline. o The decision to close the programs came after three years of considerable debate, analysis and investigation on the practicality and viability of the research material presently available to schools for teaching. o The true origin of social services originated from one source and that one source is suspect to promoting an agenda that is in place to secure profit and control over the family unit, as opposed to strengthening it. o The American and Canadian social workers associations were contacted for their reaction to the news. Neither association was willing to provide a comment on the story. However, there are quotes from various news outlets throughout the internet indicating that many within the industry are indeed fearful of job cuts and are coming to terms to the realization that the public are not very supportive of their discipline or the agencies that employ them. o Both the public and many social work related professionals are becoming increasingly aware that this system is not capable of acting in the interest of the family unit, in as much as existing to secure a profit at the expense of those families, it has already harmed.
