“…The influencing factors of preplacement relationship and identifying as Australian Aboriginal existed for the core and non-core categories. The substantive theory was found to be applicable to social work practice improvements in the recruitment, assessment, training, support and monitoring of kinship carers (Clarke, 2022).…”

“…This final stage of theoretical coding resulted in the substantive theory for stability in statutory kinship care. The substantive theory included the core category of feeling connected and the five non-core categories of seeing the need, being constant, empathising with, championing for, and being aware and accepting of the kinship context (Clarke, 2022). The influencing factors of preplacement relationship and identifying as Australian Aboriginal existed for the core and non-core categories.…”

This paper explores the application of Constructivist Grounded Theory (C-GT) methodology for social work research. First, it argues that C-GT methodology is well aligned with social work as the two value the individual in the context of their environmental influences. Both also prioritise the importance of respecting and valuing the participant or individual, seeing their perspective as unique and significant. Finally, this research methodology’s systematic yet flexible guidelines align with social work ethics, which also focus on the importance of professional integrity. The paper then provides an example of a C-GT PhD study in relation to an area of social work practice, that is, stability in statutory kinship care in Queensland, Australia. The paper details the specific recruitment and sampling of participants, data collection and coding analysis examples from the PhD study. The examples evidence the relevance of C-GT methodology and its application for research in the area of social work practice, specifically statutory kinship care.
