Abstract

This final chapter summarises the findings from all the chapters in this book. It explores what it means to be a social worker in England today and how different this is to what a social worker in Flanders experiences. It discusses the common similarities and differences evident in the two settings and explores the notion that for social work practice to be effective, practitioners need to be situated in a safe environment. Only then can contentious issues be resolved respectfully and sensitively. However, it is recognised that this objective can only ever be achieved with the support of a congruent workforce and a degree of sensitivity from those in government.
