Social Work
Clare Chamberlain, Matt Watson, Khushali Supeda
Why change anything?
–Too much time in the office–Too much assessment, not enough intervention–Too much case management and referring out–Too many repeat referrals–Lots of add on projects but what about mainstream change–Too many repeat referrals
What we want to achieve?More purposeful intervention – clarity of about what we can doWorking with fewer families at any one time – a significant
reduction in repeat referralsReducing escalation – a reduction in children with child protection
plans and those looked after

First order change: doing more or less
of the same thing: tasks

Second Order Change (Bateson)
creating a new way of seeing things
completely
We move away from locating
problems in individuals and
begin to see how issues,
identities and patterns are
embedded in relationships and
through feedback. (Karl Tomm)
Any two people in a
relationship are in a
process of mutual
influence. This is the
same with behaviours
between a worker and
a family and a
manager and staff.
(Tom Anderson)
From ‘case management’
complexity to real complexity!
• Staying curious and irreverent (Cecchin1992)
• Theory of change: analysis over ‘actions’
• Common language
• Patterns in relationships tendency to repeat (Isomorphism; Liddle & Sabre 1983)
