“…There is provision for fixed penalty notices for the parents of truanting children that may be enacted by headteachers and local education authorities as well as the police. There does not seem to.be a consideration of the potential for hardship to children of families on low income or to the increase in social exclusion resulting from such measures (Pierson, 2002). The AntiSocial Behaviour Act 2003 also suggests that parenting contracts are used in cases of truancy and exclusion.…”

“…It offers an opportunity to test out the viability of a refined, modern, integrated social work practice that embodies the tenets of psychosocial practice by addressing the external community of injustice and inhumanity as well as the internal community of conflicts and contradictions. The concept of social exclusion has its origins in France in the 1970s where the idea of citizenship and social cohesion highlighted the plight of Les exclus who were relegated to the margins of society (Barry & Hallett, 1998;Pierson, 2002). The social policy aim therefore is to advance a socially inclusive social and health care policy enabling any and every citizen to enjoy the opportunities offered by late capitalist Britain and the European Economic Community in an increasingly economically globalised world.…”

a teaches on the BA in social work and is Programme Leader for child and adolescent mental health in the mental health division at APU. He worked for 15 years in London and the South East of England in child protection and CAMHS contexts. After qualifying in social work from the LSE he completed advanced clinical training as a family therapist at the Tavistock Institute and the Orthodox assumptions about different methods of social work practice need to be re-examined and refined in order to continue to ensure that the profession is using the most relevant and effective ways of assessing and intervening in contemporary child and family practice. This paper suggests that the rigid distinctions between practice orientations serve to hinder, rather than foster creativity and flexibility, in modern complex situations. Community work and psychosocial practice appear to have little in common but seen through fresh eyes and with intellectual agility they can be perceived as offering the optimum combination for an integrated holistic approach that can contribute to a socially inclusive practice whilst simultaneously effecting change at the intra-psychic level.

“…Social exclusion is also defined by the impossibility, or intense difficulty, of acceding to the mechanisms of personal development and socio-community insertion and to the pre-established protection systems. The existence of socially-excluded sectors in post-industrial societies is widely accepted (Atkinson, 2002;Littlewood, 1999;Pierson, 2002), but we are still short of a full understanding of the new dynamics. As tends to happen in times of accelerated change, the dispersion of concepts and discourse is not always based on calm reflection and the development of instruments of empirical knowledge.…”

Social exclusion is a relatively new term intended to capture the changing nature of poverty. It is difficult to operationalize and may be defined differently among governments. The Spanish autonomous communities all have responsibilities in this area and vary in the degree and nature of exclusion risks faced by their populations. They have developed distinct strategies, which are analysed along the axes of public powers versus market solutions, and families versus social networks.
