However, Ferguson suggests that a ‘space’ has opened up, enabling the most vulnerable to seek to become active citizens by engaging with welfare agencies in ways which enable them to engage in life planning and long-term ‘healing’ and, in effect, to rewrite key aspects of their lives. As a part of social work practice, this is not an observation with which most would disagree. Conclusion While employment issues have been significant in relation to social exclusion – and some writers bemoan social work’s own marginalisation in relation to enhancing people’s employment prospects – most writers on social work regard their traditional ‘client groups’ as residing under the umbrella of social excluded groups.
What this meant was that, in the case of welfare services (such as social work), it was the expert who defined, and determined response to, need. The service recipient, on the other hand, was passive, receiving the help they needed. In this respect, the duties of the state and the right to citizenship were to be achieved, in the individual instance, through a dominant and disinterested professionalism (Keane, 1988). Marshall’s concept of social citizenship, however, most significantly limited individuals to ‘passive recipients’.
However, the principle – that society and the state has a legitimate interest in this personal sphere – is one which underlies the existence of social work. Weber (1949) refers to it as the ‘ethic of responsibility’. It is easy to envisage societies where the private spheres of individuals and families are considered the responsibility of no one but themselves. Indeed, while it may be doubtful that this was ever entirely the case, early Victorian British society, with its ‘last resort’ availability of the workhouse, may have come closest to this non-intrusive (and frankly uninterested) society and state.
