In February 2019 BASW published its Voices of Social Work Through The Troubles study. The ground-breaking research, conducted by a team of academics led by Queen's University Belfast's Dr Joe Duffy, profiled for the first time, the experiences of social workers who practiced during the years of political conflict in Northern Ireland known as the Troubles. Social workers Phil Hughes and Gerry Madden participated in the research and they, along with BASW Northern Ireland National Director, Carolyn Ewart, join Andy McClenaghan to discuss their experiences of working during the abnormal and deeply challenging circumstances of The Troubles. They explore the research findings and examine how social workers today can learn from the experiences of colleagues in decades past.Read the research report at https://www.basw.co.uk/system/files/resources/Voices%20of%20Social%20Work%20Through%20The%20Troubles%20%281%29.pdfAccess the Ulster University /Commission for Victims and Survivors research report discussed in the episode—Towards A Better Future: The Trans-generational Impact of the Troubles on Mental Health at https://www.cvsni.org/media/1171/towards-a-better-future-march-2015.pdfA video profile of the research report is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX64DJOvUD0
