Dr Simon Duffy gave this talk to Directors of Public Health and other professionals in Birmingham in July 2016. He contends that there is no fundamental problem with the welfare state other than (a) we have abandoned concern for equality and (b) we have not designed a welfare state to effectively promote our own active citizenship. He sets out a series of possible changes to genuinely reform (rather than cut and undermine) the welfare state based on real community-based initiatives.
1) The document discusses the concept of a welfare state, which is a system of government focused on promoting economic well-being and equality among citizens.
2) It provides definitions and history of welfare states, noting they originated in Europe in the 19th-20th centuries and were pioneered by leaders like Bismarck and Asquith.
3) Examples are given of both successes and challenges of welfare states, such as Nordic countries exemplifying welfare states while inequality has increased in the UK in recent decades.
The document discusses social welfare programs in the United States. It covers topics such as how Americans' views of government assistance for the poor have changed over time, different types of welfare programs, and debates around universal health care. The key points are:
1) Americans have historically taken a more restrictive view than other nations on who is entitled to government assistance and have been slower to embrace the welfare state.
2) There are two kinds of welfare programs - majoritarian programs like Social Security that most citizens support, and client programs like Medicaid that are means-tested and face more questions about legitimacy.
3) Debates continue around ensuring access to health care for all Americans while containing costs and not reducing the quality
Dr Simon Duffy presented these slides to a meeting of the Socialist Health Association SHA) which was also joined by members of Disabled People Against the Cuts (DPAC) on 18th June 2016. He proposed that the whole social care system was flawed and based on old-fashioned institutional models that were dangerous and undermined people's citizenship. He proposed radical reform and the creation of an effective right for independent living.

A welfare state is a system where the government provides social services like healthcare, unemployment benefits, and education to those in need using tax revenue. The concept originated in Europe in the 19th-20th centuries and spread to other nations. Characteristics include a mixed economy, social equality, government regulation of economic activities, and provision of public services and welfare for citizens and laborers. While welfare states aim to ensure security and equitable resource distribution, critics argue they can lead to high taxes and abuse of welfare systems. The document analyzes how Bangladesh partially exhibits characteristics of a welfare state by providing some public services but failing to ensure fully equal opportunity and wealth distribution.

The document discusses several issues related to poverty in the Philippines including:
1. The government has pursued various anti-poverty programs and frameworks since the 1970s with limited success in reducing poverty.
2. The current administration's anti-poverty framework, KALAHI, focuses on asset reform, access to services, livelihood opportunities, social protection, and community participation.
3. Poverty reduction has been slow compared to other Asian countries due to low economic growth relative to population growth.
Mutual aid and charity have long been part of societies around the world. In India, concepts like daya, dana, and bhiksha formed the traditional social welfare system based on self-sacrifice and consideration for others. Over time, kings, religions, and the British administration took on limited social welfare roles. After Independence, the government realized it could not handle social problems alone, so it partnered with voluntary organizations and established the Central Social Welfare Board. This marked the beginning of a formal social welfare administration system in India.
Historical development of social work in ukAnjaliMathur18
Social work in the UK has its origins in religious institutions that provided assistance to vulnerable groups. Over time, the government became more involved through laws and policies. The 1601 Elizabethan Poor Law established relief for the poor and categorized them. The 1834 Poor Law Reform Act reduced spending by establishing workhouses. The 1941 Beveridge Report recommended a comprehensive social welfare system including social insurance, assistance, family allowances, health services, employment support, and universal coverage. Overall, social work in the UK evolved from religious charity to government-administered public assistance and social services.
The document discusses the differences between residual and institutional models of social welfare. Residual social work is reactive and deals with visible needs after other support systems have been depleted, while institutional social work takes a preventative approach and supports people's well-being through universally available services. Examples of residual social work include services for those in crisis, while institutional social work provides services like free education and healthcare available to all. The document contrasts the short-term, needs-based nature of residual systems with the population-wide, preventative institutional approach.

historical development of social work in ukHasnainUmeir
The document summarizes the historical development of social work in the UK from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. It discusses how social services originated from church charity and expanded with the Industrial Revolution as many moved to cities for factory work. The 1601 Elizabethan Poor Law established responsibility for poor relief. In the 19th century, social legislation was passed to regulate child labor and factory working hours as labor conditions were poor. Private social agencies also emerged to provide additional welfare services.
The document discusses the history and purpose of the US welfare system. It was created in the 1930s during the Great Depression to help low-income citizens. However, some began abusing the system in the 1970s by not working and having more children for increased benefits. In response, President Clinton signed welfare reform in the 1990s that gave states more control over welfare and aimed to provide short-term assistance to help people become self-sufficient.
This document summarizes Presidential Decree 1530 which establishes a system of voluntary contributions for housing purposes. The decree aims to address the acute housing shortage in the Philippines by providing massive financing to solve the housing problem impeding national development. It guarantees citizens the full enjoyment of their homes and mandates that the government establish, maintain, and ensure adequate social services in housing to provide a decent standard of living. The voluntary contribution system would help alleviate difficulties in house financing by collecting contributions from government and private employees.

This document outlines a plan for an effective welfare state system. It discusses establishing a taxation system to fund benefits for various citizen categories including the poor, retired, widowed, unemployed, sick, disabled, single parents, children, and students. It argues benefits should only go to those truly in need like pensioners, disabled, widows with children, and invalids. The state should provide free healthcare and education. Local governments are responsible for administering the system and providing benefits to citizens according to their status.
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL WORK IN UNITED KINGDOMAbhishek Singh
The document summarizes the history of social welfare in the UK from the Elizabethan period to the mid-20th century. It describes how the church initially provided relief to the poor and destitute through alms and charity. The Elizabethan Poor Law of 1601 systematized relief efforts and divided the poor into categories. Throughout the Industrial period, several reforms and laws were passed to improve conditions for workers and the poor, such as school meal programs and national insurance. The Beveridge Report of 1942 laid the foundation for the modern British welfare state by recommending a system to address want, disease, ignorance, squalor, and idleness.
Dr Simon Duffy gave this talk at a City of Birmingham Think Tank event on 15th June 2016. This talk explores the reasons for the attacks on the welfare state and how the design of the welfare state could be changed to advance citizenship for all.
These slides are from a talk Dr Simon Duffy of Citizen Network gave to Café Economique in Leeds, making the case for basic income.

historical development of social work in USARohit Raaj
The historical development of social work in the USA progressed through several key periods:
- Early colonial settlements relied on local charities through religious organizations for poor relief.
- In the early 20th century, the Charity Organization Society movement established more scientific approaches to organized charity. Settlement houses also provided social services in neighborhoods.
- The Great Depression led to greater federal involvement through programs like the New Deal. This marked a revolutionary change in establishing social work as a profession.
- Subsequent decades saw both expansion of social programs under presidents like FDR as well as challenges to the welfare state under Reagan and efforts to devolve programs to state/local control.

Evolution of Human Services
Introduction
Human service is one of the fields that has continued to evolve over the past ages. This evolution is one of the reasons why policymakers have difficulty dealing with human services (Zins, 2001). To redesign human services to fit the social and academic realms, there is a need to look and understand the history of human services. By looking at the past of human services from the early 11th century, we shall analyze the key advancements that have shaped the field up to the modern-day.
Discussion
11th Century Almshouse
One of the ancient human services from the 11th century is the almshouse. An almshouse or poorhouses are places that are targeted towards helping the poor people. A poorhouse, also known as a workhouse, is aimed at helping people from poor backgrounds that for one reason or another have been unable to pay their rent or have been rejected by their families. Such target groups include widows, widowers, the elderly, and orphans. The origin of poor houses extends from religious groups. Church systems often adopted the poor in the society who could not help themselves. This was later extended to the local authorities and other local officials.
16th Century
By the 16th century, the church and other social institutions were managing human services. However, their provision of services was messy and disorganized. The English government, on the other hand, was repressive and punitive in handling matters of poverty and vagrancy (Kunze, 1971). To sort this issue, the first poor law was set in 1536. This law was further supported in 1547, through taxes that were levied to specifically help the poor in the community. These taxes were further aided in 1576 when the government of England set the rule that the local authorities should provide aid to the poor by the provision of raw materials to aid them in getting work done.
17th Century
The 17th century saw the introduction of the Elizabethan Poor Law. The law was introduced in 1601. The law set a requirement for parishes. The parishes had to select certain overseers for the poor. A minimum of two overseers was required for each parish and the main role of the overseer was to set and collect taxes to help the poor. The tax was collected from the landowners. After collection of the taxes, the overseer was responsible for the equitable distribution of food and money to the poor in the community. The overseer was not paid a salary.
18th Century
In the 18th century, most of Europe was emerging from the Renaissance period. This is a period that saw England rise from a slumber in various aspects including academics. During this period, there was the advancement of technology and psychology. One particular physician, Philippe Pinel, was instrumental in the development of humane ps.

The document discusses the US welfare state. It describes the goals of preventing poverty and helping the unemployed find work. It outlines the main welfare services and programs, including TANF, which replaced AFDC and emphasizes work requirements. The welfare system provides benefits to the economy by reducing income inequality and subsidizing health costs. A major achievement was the 1996 welfare reform that established work requirements and time limits, leading to dramatic declines in caseloads.
History of community action module 1.final1 1NancyCotton3
This document provides a history of Community Action Agencies in the United States from their establishment under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 through various presidential administrations. It summarizes that President Lyndon B. Johnson established Community Action Agencies and the Office of Economic Opportunity to declare war on poverty as part of his Great Society agenda. Subsequent administrations, such as Nixon and Reagan, sought to defund or dismantle Community Action Agencies, while others like Ford diminished their role and funding.
This document discusses the crisis in social care provision in Scotland. It provides context on the history and development of care services from the creation of the welfare state to current issues. Key points include:
- Care services have historically been underfunded compared to the NHS and focused on physical needs rather than a holistic understanding of care.
- Marketization and outsourcing of care from the 1980s onward, coupled with budget cuts, has financialized and degraded the care sector.
- Integration of health and social care, while intended to help, has in practice subsumed social care under health priorities and management approaches.
- The current system is characterized by underfunding, a burnt-out workforce, and a focus

Social Problems
What is the definition of a social problem? It is defined as any condition or behavior that has negative consequences for large numbers of people and that is generally recognized as a condition or behavior that needs to be addressed. (University of Minnesota, 2010). This definition can be viewed as both subjective and objective.

We must address both individual responsibility AND the political and economic systems if we hope to make meaningful progress against poverty.
The summary discusses the history of social welfare and social work in Europe, the United States, and the Philippines. In Europe, laws were passed in the 16th-18th centuries to provide assistance to the poor through the church and local communities. Over time, more formal systems developed and the responsibility shifted to the state. In the US, assistance initially came from volunteers and charities. Formal social work developed in the late 19th century through settlement houses, charity organizations, and social work education. Key developments included the establishment of social work as a profession and the passing of the Social Security Act in the US in 1935.
This document contains a presentation on social welfare, social development, and sustainable development. It includes sections on defining each topic, related theories and models, examples in social work, and the Philippine context. Social welfare involves government programs that provide assistance to those in need. Social development aims to improve living conditions and opportunities for all citizens. Sustainable development meets current needs without compromising the future by considering environmental, social, and economic factors together.
Social development is defined as a holistic and systematic approach to promoting individual and societal well-being through planned social change and economic development. It emerged in the 1920s through the work of L.T. Hobhouse and gained popularity under British colonial rule in Africa in the 1940s through mass literacy and community development programs. Since the 1940s, approaches to social development have included enterprise strategies emphasizing private initiatives, statist strategies involving centralized government planning and administration, and communitarian strategies focusing on local community participation. More recently, microcredit and microfinance initiatives exemplify a balanced approach incorporating free markets, government support, and grassroots participation to alleviate poverty and promote peace.
The Labour reforms of 1945-1951 aimed to tackle the "five giants" of want, disease, ignorance, squalor and idleness as outlined in the Beveridge Report. The summary introduces key reforms such as the National Health Service, national insurance, public housing construction and keeping unemployment low. It evaluates that the reforms met basic needs but faced limitations like low benefits, poor housing conditions, and an education system that mainly benefited the middle class. Overall, the reforms made progress against poverty and disease, but faced more limitations in housing, education and nationalizing industries.
