Dear Mr. Sokolov

I am writing to apply for the position of Social Worker with your company. I saw your advertisement in the Komsomolskaya Pravda and I would like to be considered for the job.

I believe I am suitable for this post as I already have experience working with young people. I worked at a summer camp in the United States last summer and greatly enjoyed supervising a group of six children. I was responsible for their behaviour and welfare, and my duties also included taking care of basic first aid. I found the job very interesting and rewarding. I feel that my experience would be an asset as a social worker.

In addition, I am hard-working and responsible. I passed my secondary education Certificate with a distinction, and have recently entered Social Work Department in MSTU (Murmansk, Russia), so you can see that I have skills needed for this job. I also have a working knowledge of English and a clean driving license and have always been interested in dealing with people who need support and care.

I would like to work for your organization as it would give me an opportunity to develop my social work skills further, and I am sure that it will be very enjoyable and rewarding to provide social service for those who really need it.

I am enclosing a copy of my CV with this letter. I would be available for an interview here in Murmansk at any time convenient to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

Ivan Orlov

E. Both the medical and social models agree to a point that facilities and opportunities should be made as accessible as possible to individuals who require adaptations.

F. By making adjustments, employers and service providers are removing the barriers that disable – they are effectively removing the disability.

The Evolution of a Movement

Historically, disabilities have often been cast in a negative light. An individual thus affected was seen as being a "patient" subject either to cure or to ongoing medical care. His condition is seen as disabling; the social reactions to it are justified, and the barriers unavoidable. (1)

Over the past 20 years, a competing view known as the social model of disability has come to the fore. (2) An individual may be impaired by
a condition that requires daily living adaptations, but the bulk of his problem – his disability – can be found in the attitudinal and physical barriers erected by society.

The social model of disability recognises that some people have impairments which affect how they function physically or mentally. But those people are disabled by the barriers that exist in a society that does not take account of their needs. These barriers may be in the physical, organisational or personal aspects of society – for instance, stairs without lifts, information not available in large print, or people's negative attitudes. The social model sees disabled people as having similar wants, needs and aspirations to non-disabled people, and seeking equal treatment. (3) Indeed it may be viewed as a positive asset. Equality for disabled people is seen in the same light as equality for other under-represented groups.

In the United Kingdom, the Disability Discrimination Act definition of disability uses the medical model – disabled people are defined as people with certain conditions, or certain limitations on their ability to carry out "normal day-to-day activities". But the requirement on employers and service providers to make "reasonable adjustments" to their policies or practices, or physical aspects of their premises, follows the social model. (4)

(5) Dismantling physical barriers, or setting up adaptations such as wheelchair ramps, is known as "fostering accessibility".

4. Use the word given in brackets to form a word that best fits each place.

Medical Social Work is a sub-discipline of (society ) work. Medical social workers typically work in a hospital, skilled nursing facility or hospice, have
a graduate degree in the field (Masters degree in social work), and work with patients and their families in need of (psychology ) help. Medical social workers assess the psychosocial functioning of patients and families and intervene as necessary. Interventions may include (connection ) patients and families to necessary resources and supports in the community; providing psychotherapy, supportive counseling, or grief counseling; or helping a patient to expand and (strength ) their network of social supports. Medical social workers typically work on an interdisciplinary team with professionals of other disciplines (such as medicine, nursing, physical, occupational, speech and recreational therapy, etc.). Besides medical social worker often deals with (high ) complex cases involving patients with multiple psychosocial issues, all of which requiring intervention and leading to delays in discharge. For instance, in a major urban acute care medical centre, it is not uncommon for the (medicine ) social worker to assess patients who are simultaneously homeless, without health insurance coverage, have multiple chronic medical and psychiatric conditions, are unemployed, have just been (release ) from incarceration, and have substance abuse problems, all of which, separately and together, can impede timely discharge.

Murmansk to Open Refuge in N-Street

The city council yesterday announced that it is planning to turn 11, N-Street into a refuge for homeless people. The two-storey terraced house, which was once a dwelling house, had been empty for three years.

A council representative explained that the building needed repairs and complete redecoration before it could take in homeless people. It is expected to open sometime in the new year and will provide temporary accommodation for homeless people.

As soon as the news of the refuge was announced, some of the N-Street residents wrote to the council objecting to the use of the house as a refuge. They said, "We are in favour of providing homeless people with somewhere to live, but N-Street is not suitable. There are elderly people and families with young children living here".

4. Read the text and discuss the questions that follow.

Domestic Violence

Twenty years ago, little empirical knowledge about intimate partner violence existed, conceptual explanations for relationship violence were not well thought out, and social workers were ill trained for dealing with the problem. Domestic violence, at that time, was private and seen as a family problem and personal issue. Today, students and social workers can benefit from research findings and years of practice experience that were not available two decades ago.

The implications of domestic violence for social workers are significant; many of the individuals we work with will be or have been affected as primary and secondary victims. Many of our male clients have battered their partners. Many of us have felt the impact of violence in our own families.

Social workers must have insight into the problem of domestic violence to effectively work toward ending relationship violence. Interventions that might alleviate domestic maltreatment should be applied at all levels: micro, mezzo, and macro.

1. How has the attitude to the domestic violence changed recently?

2. Why is the issue of domestic violence vital?

3. What should be done to ease domestic violence? What can social workers do?

4. What particular measures can be taken by law enforcement agencies, the courts, social service agencies and corrections/probation agencies to solve the problem of domestic abuse?

Social work is a profession for those who have a strong desire to help improve people's lives. Social workers help people function the best way they can in their environment, deal with their relationships, and solve personal and family problems. Social workers often see clients who face a life-threatening disease or a social problem. These problems may include inadequate housing, unemployment, serious illness, disability, or substance abuse. Social workers also assist families that have serious domestic conflicts, including those involving child or spousal abuse.

Social workers often provide social services in health-related settings that now are governed by managed care organizations.

Most social workers specialize. Although some conduct research or are involved in planning or policy development, most social workers prefer an area of practice in which they interact with clients.

There are child, family, and school social workers, medical and public health social workers, mental health and substance abuse social workers. Other types of social workers include social work planners and policymakers, who develop programs to address such issues as child abuse, homelessness, substance abuse, poverty, and violence. These workers research and analyze policies, programs, and regulations. They identify social problems and suggest legislative and other solutions. They may help raise funds or write grants to support these programs.

THE ONLY CHILD

I was one of six children. I have two younger brothers and three elder sisters. My father was not a wealthy man and we lived in a three-bedroom house, so conditions at home were always quite cramped and there was little privacy. Yet I consider that I was extremely fortunate. The house was on the outskirts of a small town. Meadows, woods and even a friendly stream lay within walking distance of our home. My mother and father were far too busy to occupy themselves with my affairs, so the greater part of my upbringing was left to my sisters. If I am now a comparatively calm and placid person, able to cope tolerably well with those problems that life presents us with, it is, I firmly believe, due to the fact that I was allowed to grow up without too much fuss being made of me.

The most dreadful fate that I can imagine would be that of growing up as an only child. All mothers and fathers experiment on their unfortunate firstborn. They read the latest baby books, they attend clinics and courses of lectures. They listen to the advice of maiden aunts.

They debate the exact moment to present him or her with solid food. What they find extremely difficult to do is to allow their children to grow up at his own pace, to make his own mistakes and quietly learn from them.

As soon as the second baby is on the way, the first escapes from this period of close attention. He begins to get away with things. He discovers that even if he does eat sandwiches with dirty hands, or unripe apples that have fallen from the tree, he may not be sick in the night. He acquires a sense of proportion regarding his own importance.

But what happens to the only child? Never, or at least not until it is far too late to do anything about it, does he or she escape from the minute examination of his every action. It is a miracle if he does not grow up a nervous person constantly worrying about his health, a wholly self-centered being, who shivers at the sight of his own reflection in the mirror.
