For students, Hill and Shaw (social work, York U., UK) examine the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in social work and how ICTs are changing the field and vice versa, in the context of the aims, values, and ethics of social work as a profession in the UK. They describe best practices, focusing on how to maximize advantages and minimize disadvantages of ICTs; how ICTs have become integral in advertising services, referral processes, assessments, interventions, and other functions of social services; impacts on service users, social workers, and social work agencies; and impacts on social work programs in educational institutions and in practice-based settings at any career stage.
