State child care in Romania: a University initiative to promote required change from within
This article describes a University initiative designed to promote social work training between the University of Ulster and the University of Transilvania, Romania and which involved exploratory visits to establish the conditions of care for Romanian children. This had a particular impact on staff who were alarmed by the manifest deficiencies within the child care system. The article goes on to consider the obvious psychological impact of the described conditions of care and the political context of change in Romania. It argues for both the development and extension of social work training as a necessary humanitarian priority. Since the writing of this article, a successful Tempus grant has been obtained, with which to support this project.
