Abstract

Three Labour politicians with experience in Government and backgrounds in social work spoke on a conference panel about politics and social work. All had moved into electoral politics with the view that there were limits to the radical change social work could achieve. They discussed how social work has influenced their political work and how constituency case work illuminates the impact of policies on individuals. This piece examines the themes of the discussion more closely.
