    Social work beyond the pandemic: exploring social work values for a new eco-social world
    (SAGE, 2024) Banks, Sarah; Bertotti, Teresa; Cairns, Lynne; Shears, Jane; Shum, Michelle; Sobocan, Ana M.; Strom, Kimberly; Úriz Pemán, María Jesús; Sociología y Trabajo Social; Soziologia eta Gizarte Lana; Institute for Advanced Social Research - ICOMMUNITAS
    This article draws on a series of international research-focused webinars with social workers in 2022. They were designed to examine the rethinking of professional values during the pandemic in the context of other global crises, particularly the climate emergency. Participants readily shared ethical issues relating to self-care, digital working and reduced bureaucracy during the pandemic and implications for future practice. The need for holistic, community-based approaches integrating social, health and economic aspects of people¿s lives arose, and the importance of seeing humans as part of the natural world (eco-social approaches). Awareness of newer post-anthropocentric and posthuman philosophies was less evident.

    Practising ethically during COVID-19: social work challenges and responses
    (SAGE, 2020) Banks, Sarah; Cai, Tian; Jonge, Ed de; Shears, Jane; Úriz Pemán, María Jesús; Sociología y Trabajo Social; Soziologia eta Gizarte Lana
    This article draws on findings of an international study of social workers’ ethical challenges during COVID-19, based on 607 responses to a qualitative survey. Ethical challenges included the following: maintaining trust, privacy, dignity and service user autonomy in remote relationships; allocating limited resources; balancing rights and needs of different parties; deciding whether to break or bend policies in the interests of service users; and handling emotions and ensuring care of self and colleagues. The article considers regional contrasts, the ‘ethical logistics’ of complex decision-making, the impact of societal inequities, and lessons for social workers and professional practice around the globe.
