Issue 1, 2013 18th May 2013 MASW NEWSLETTER 40TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE ISSUE Celebrating 40 years of passion! President‟s Message... On behalf of the Executive Committee of MASW, I would like to wish all our members and friends HAPPY 40TH ANNIVERSARY! Professional practice – how to translate the competency standards into measurable outcomes in social work practice and education? For many who have been with MASW all these years, they definitely know that we have come a long way. The journey has not been easy – we lack financial and human resources, and public recognition of the profession - but I can proudly say that MASW has contributed immensely to the profession, to the community and to the nation. You can see our list of milestones in the following page. Professional education – how to provide relevant, accessible and flexible education pathways for non-graduate practitioners to qualify as social workers? How to develop postgraduate courses for specialist practice? All these achievements are attributed to the unwavering commitment and passion of the past and present Executive Committees as well as members and supporters in advancing the social work agenda in Malaysia. We would like to thank our pioneers, the Ministry of Women, Family & Community Development, in particular the Department of Social Welfare, United Nations Children’s Fund, the Ministries of Health and Higher Education, National Anti-Drug Agency, the various nonprofit agencies, and all social workers and social welfare practitioners for your support. Indeed it has been 40 YEARS OF PASSION that has been driving MASW forward! Today MASW is in the midst of planning for the future – at least for the next ten years, if not the next forty. MASW needs to prepare itself strategically for when the Social Workers Act becomes a reality in the very near future. So what are the challenges MASW must take on in the immediate future? Here are some points for all of us to ponder. Your comments, feedback, and contribution of time and energy will be greatly appreciated: 1 Professional supervision – how to enhance professional supervision and expand the pool of trained supervisors and trainers? Professional development – how to develop credible programs which will allow social workers to earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits? Professional career path – how to ensure an attractive career development scheme of service for both public and non-profit organizations? Professional expansion – how to increase work force numbers to meet community needs and further develop practice in specialized fields like mental health, criminal justice, child protection, school social work, disability and elderly care? Professional sustainability - how to develop financial resources for sustainability of MASW and other social work activities? Professional advocacy - how to continuously promote the profession and ensure it remains as a relevant and essential social service for managing social issues? Although MASW is not a big association, it is an organization of high aspirations committed to promoting the care, safety and protection of service users and the well-being of its members. There is much to be done and, in commemorating our 40th year, let us consciously and strategically work in partnership towards enhancing professionalism for the well-being of our society. I hope to have you all continue with us in our exciting journey for the next Forty Years! Teoh Ai Hua Inside this issue: Editorial 2 Historical Milestones 2 Post Conference 4 (Child Protection) Thoughts and the Big Picture Celebration of World 7 Social Work Day 2013 List of Members 8 40TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE ISSUE MASW is 40 years old and growing…! Editorial " hings do not T change, we change" Henry David Thoreau And the last 8 years have been amazing years! We have created several milestones along the way and will mark many more milestones on this exciting continuous journey towards professional practice, education, training and research. Social workers have committed themselves to establishing key competency standards for practice and to drafting of a Social Workers Bill to register the title of Social Worker as well as to ensure competent practice and service delivery to service users. We are moving to keep in step with the changing needs of our service users, the community and the country. The recent political cry for change is a clear indication of the people’s expectations for fair and just governance. That should trickle down to fair and just social services as well. Thus social work practitioners need to be current and updated in their knowledge and skills to face the challenges of difficult and complex modern day social issues and situations. MASW supports the IFSW’s call in its celebration of World Social Work Day 2013 to promote social and economic equalities. This theme is the focus of our First National Convention of Social Workers on Saturday 18th May 2013 at Armada Hotel, Petaling Jaya. We will have five speakers to present their views from a global perspective, and from local practice in the field of child protection, juvenile justice, patient care and marginalized communities. Let’s make a success of this event!

Credit is deservedly due too to the Ministry and UNICEF for continuing with the child protection discussions following earlier developments at the ASEAN levels of governments. The subject theme, „Child Protection‟ by itself, is enough to spur even the most indifferent into thinking, “How do we do this? Equally, although no less important, is the follow-up of “What is being done to protect children”? Such a „get together‟ involving the representatives and professionals from our large region is therefore eagerly anticipated. It was reasonably well attended, as I had observed. The slight let down perhaps being the empty seats in the main conference hall at the start of the proceedings with the distinguished speakers setting the scene. I was told that all seats were pre-booked but a shame many had not turned up on that first day; as far as I was aware, most were from the civil servants‟ cohort. Still, not to be disheartened, the conference opened with the expected welcome from Malaysia‟s Secretary-General of the MWFCD, followed by UNICEF‟s Representative to Malaysia and this was followed by an upbeat presentation by the ASEAN Regional Advisor for Child Protection. The keynote address was expertly delivered by a familiar name, Dr. Pauline Meemeduma, Child Protection Consultant from Perth, Australia. The conference programme was carefully organised to stay true to its theme of a systems based approach to child protection, with plenary sessions head listing subjects ranging from best practices to structures, to organisation oversights and on models of partnerships and job specifications underpinned by Page 4 4 competency based practice. All said the conference showed all you would probably need to know about developing effective child protection strategies and building competency and organisational capacity. The key question is how do you put all that into action? And, be reasonably successful at that? No doubt, this task constitutes a continuing journey in our country. The conference threw up, not unexpectedly, all kinds of obstacles prevalent in all the countries covered; difficulties arising from cultural diversity to institutional barriers. Proposed solutions for successes vary enormously, complicated by the different stages of development amongst the countries concerned. Therefore, each country needs to put its own house in order, perhaps learning from each other along the way, but equally conscious of the need to be well prepared for the long arduous journey ahead. That said, what is the scenario in our country? And, what lessons can we take from this conference, for Malaysia? Let me try to address the approach to the assessment of the situation as I see it, in the following way. Two simple questions spring to mind 1. What is in place already, 2. What needs developing? What is in place without a shadow of doubt is the enthusiasm and talent amongst the workforce which I came across during the conference and this applied to both the public sector and the non-governmental (Third) sector. The commitment and beliefs held, with respect to social work‟s legitimate role in protecting vulnerable children was prevalent, and the determination to make things better for children also came across loud and clear. In my view, but somewhat on a „stand alone‟ basis and lacking clarity of enforcement, is the existing legislation for safeguarding children (Child Act) but compared to some of the ASEAN neighbours, Malaysia‟s legislative protection appears enviable. However, the lack of monitoring or assessment as to this safeguarding law‟s effectiveness or otherwise means that one cannot be confident that children are being adequately protected. It is unfair of me in this regard to make assertions if there is no available data to conclude. I would however opine that it is no different to the often quoted line, as with most legislation with the aim of deterrence, i.e. “instead of building fences at a cliff‟s edge to prevent people falling over, it is perhaps best to invest in ambulances at the bottom of the cliff to record the ones that fall.” What I am trying to say is, like some legislation, one cannot accurately predict outcomes except to reasonably conclude likelihood(s) on the „balance of probabilities‟ principle. Of course, in more straightforward regulations, it is possible to measure and record the outputs and sometimes, assess outcomes. The various children stakeholder organisations in Malaysia are visible and functioning, with the Government‟s statutory agency managing and providing the bulk of services for those „children in need‟ and the non-governmental sector impressively contributing and complementing services for both children and their carers. As to how effective and how successful those services are is more difficult to gauge but there‟s still some way to go, as witnessed by recent press reports of children‟s complaints and perhaps, whistle-blowing from within organisations. There is an inevitable bias towards services for children who are at risk from society and less so, towards children (mostly older) who are a risk to society. As is the case, the Government currently provide the bulk services for the latter group, in the form of corrective juvenile institutions, community service orders, etc. Not unexpectedly, NGOs have greater coverage with the former. Next, what is not so satisfactory and hence, should be developed or improved? The first is „institutional‟ and this is Volume 1, Issue 1 From page 4... likely to be the most challenging. Children are vulnerable at all times and those denied a family life are more vulnerable to abuse. Hence, the Government must step in and in almost all cases the Government appear to have done just that. However, does it do so with the knowledge and confidence that its resources and facilities are „fit for purpose‟? For example, for a start, are those children „in need‟ adequately cared for in conditions which reflect as much and as far as possible, normality? Do they tend to be „housed and cared‟ for in family settings or rather in more convenient large institutions resembling „Victorian workhouses‟ at best and penal institutions at worst? I believe in reality, the latter is more prevalent than the former. The second is an absence of a genuine understanding of child protection and what this entails amongst the various agencies concerned. Accepting that child protection is everybody‟s duty (society‟s business) and not just social workers‟, it is sad to hear when the Police are slow to act or an examining doctor readily accepts the explanation of the carer / parent instead of persevering to listen to the child. So, a high profile public education campaign is needed followed by government supported initiatives to strengthen partnership working and collaboration at multi-disciplinary and m ul ti -agency l evel s. All institutions and agencies must adhere to this, including the private sector. In short, there must be multi-agency commitment and nothing less. Institutions of higher learning have a vital role in disseminating both the public education through its marketing and its student community. There are grounds for research on partnership work, with the aim of raising it above communal organisational territorial boundaries and beyond complex institutional inertia, which so often obstruct effective working together. The third is an absence of a regulated social work workforce which the public can easily identify with so as to give assurance and confidence in its capability and competence to protect children within society. We therefore require the current Social Workers Draft Bill to become law. Closely on its heels, we need a rigorous assessPage 5 5 ment of where we are at, in terms of skills and competencies and how best the higher learning institutions are producing our future social work workforce. The Social Work Council must have a major say on overall standards, academic and practice matters when registering the qualifying programme providers. The current consortium of Universities should jointly ensure that its standards are comparatively excellent and have no hesitation in securing overseas accreditation or help in developing graduate and post graduate programmes, the latter perhaps concentrating on skills development and spe ci al i st pra cti ce are as. N ew programmes should be seriously considered to ensure that those who are less academically inclined can be recognised too, through qualification, to a more practice-led study, leading to say, an equivalent tertiary course, a Diploma in Social Work. The workforce planning and developmental initiatives need government support and investment as it will lead to a career „of choice‟ by future student generation. This will help in attracting potential bright students, auguring well for the future and will go a long way towards raising the profile of social workers in protecting and safeguarding children. Universities and programmes aiming for the qualifying degrees should also exploit the talent and resources within the statutory agencies and NGOs and secure joint assessed practice arrangements, integrating learning and reinforcing theory and practice. The fourth area for development is in the whole area of monitoring standards for safeguarding and ensuring the people in contact with children are properly vetted for suitability. In fact, not only do we require suitable people, we also require safe premises and demand that services provided be run by proper and fit organisations. When there is a lack of regulation and inspection, children can be exposed to risk. There are countless instances reported and sometimes unreported, of the exploitation and abuse of children. No social institution is exempted from such a charge. In such a situation, we are often indebted to the relentless efforts by individual whistle-blowers and often, the campaigning efforts from the NGO sector. However, NGOs can sometimes become a dominant force on their own and display their own lack of accountability, doing things as they see fit and relying on their public good credentials to paper over any perceived criticism. I am not criticising NGOs per se, far from it, but I believe that due to the inadequate social protection laws in any developing country, NGOs inevitably fill those gaps and many do well in meeting „social needs‟ that would otherwise have been neglected. However, they do need to subscribe and subordinate to the prevailing collective partnership protocols and procedures relevant to child protection. I am also surprised to note that charities in general are not as robustly monitored and audited in Malaysia for how they spend those hard earned donations from the public, principally in the name of their beneficiaries. Some could ask, “Do they really?” The fifth is enforcement. Social protection legislation should be accompanied by adequate resources to ensure that negligence and corporate failure to rescue, to support, and to care for the vulnerable will be met with the harshest condemnation by society. I am talking about penalties levied against institutions that fail to deliver, beginning with regulations around setting up, meeting standards and regular inspections to ensure continuous safe and competent service delivery. The sixth is professional value base. As an infrequent cynic on human behaviour, I often tell my social work staff that in general, the public is not interested in matters concerning social services or social work unless it happens to them personally or it happens to their close ones, e.g. their families. So, rather bluntly put, do not expect the public to be spontaneous in showing care to all or to dig deep, to contribute funds. Religion does most of the caring stuff, all the peace and neighbourly caring messages through teachings and ecumenical moral codes and values. However, social workers must always have that level of consciousness of how their community prevail, whether they exist or they struggle to survive and, above all, the ability to sympathise and if appropriate, empathise with a person‟s tragedy and mishap, in order to go about helping with the necessary change process. As Microsoft From page 5... professionals engaged with assisting people, we are more sensitive to forces within society and how it displaces minorities and why we cannot avoid being agents of social change to some degree. In a multi-cultural and multifaith society, we need to rise to the challenge posed by such complexities and avoid any „one size fits all‟ approach. Similarly, we must be resistant to communal racist overtones prevalent in our midst and fight the divisive forces which seek to displace minority groups within society. The seventh is perhaps quite inevitable, as this is political. There is no tradition in our country unlike in the UK when the Labour Party in 1945 laid the foundations of the „Welfare State‟ and where there is cross-party consensus in matters of healthcare provision, social care and social work. In Malaysia, it appears that only the ruling party has a monopoly and apparatus of developing and speaking, and the Opposition is derided for their views or contribution. Perhaps it is more to do with the country‟s level of pol i ti cal m aturi ty an d wh en defensiveness and self-interest by politicians will become less prevalent. I sensed that unlike Western countries where the civil service is politically non-partisan, in practice, this is the reverse in Malaysia. In my former job as Director of Social Services, my role was as an adviser on social services. The politicians appear to respect that, and would take account of my views when implementing local policies affecting social work and social care provision. As I often suggest to politicians, “you produce the policies, and I (my department) will implement them”! The current stark political and service centralisation structures we have here, with many key services expected to respond to far- away local communities is rather expecting too much. It is difficult with such centralised arrangements, to be able to respond effectively or, be sensitive to local community settings and needs. On a wider front, there appears to be no universal system for social care for all categories of „people in need‟, children included, but more so lacking for those who are at the end of their lives or those in need of constant care and attention. If a severely disabled child is left without adequate support and services to the carers, the State 6 could be complicit in the abuse of that particular vulnerable child. Similarly, if an educationally handicapped child is not being treated early on, his/her life chances will be severely hindered, and in this situation, are we talking about acceptable child protection? There is much to be done in the child protection and childcare field and conversely enough to be excited about too, with increasing attention and public information about community safety, greater democracy, and political accountability. Let us hope that a democratically elected government will begin to take note of this major area for development and prioritise developments in the area of social protection and in particular, social work. The government must publish its intentions and policies on services for children and vulnerable adults and within an improved social care infras tru c tu r e, u n d er pi n n e d by principl es of safeguarding, protection and increasing life chances. Let us look forward to a bright future! References Conference website – http:// cpconference2012.wordpress.

Puan Siti Norhayati binti Harun, the newly appointed Department Head, reminded MSWs to apply the principles and values of social work in their daily practice, and to provide a holistic service. She commented on the substantial increase in the number of MSWs in the hospital, and agreed that the Department will celebrate WSWD every year to show appreciation of services rendered by MSWs. Mr Loo Leong Heng, a senior MSW, delivered a talk on ‘Social Work – Back to Basics’ during which he highlighted the misconception that the general public and hospital staff have of social work and pointed out the differences between philanthropy, volunteerism, welfare work and social work. Staff received memento badges to commemorate the event. @ USM The Social Work Programme, USM celebrated World Social Work Day 2013 on 18.03.2013. At this event, the social work students established a team of volunteers named “S-Crew”, aimed at providing outreach services to the various target groups and agencies which require student volunteer services. This effort is in line with this year's Social Work Day 2013 theme - Promoting Social and Economic Equalities. The launching was officiated by Dr. Mohamad Zaini Abu Bakar, Deputy Dean of School of Social Sciences. Also present at the launching were the Social Work Programme Chair, Assoc. Professor Dr. Azlinda Azman, Dr. Harry Hikmat from the Ministry of Social Welfare, Republic of Indonesia, and a group of 14 students from Universiti Padjadjaran (UNPAD), Indonesia who were at that time participating as exchange students in the Social Work Programme and School of Social Sciences. The 7 celebration included special presentations by Encik Ahmad Nazir bin Long and Encik Mohd Zahir Harun, representing the National Anti-Drug Agency, Penang and the Timur Laut District Welfare Office, Penang, respectively. The presentations provided useful information on the possibilities as well as opportunities for working very closely with student volunteers in the future. The first activity upon launching of the “S-Crew” was the visit by the student volunteers to Pusat Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti (PDK) Orang Pekak Pulau Pinang for a ‘gotongroyong’ activity at the center. The activities included an interaction session with the children at the agency and later cleaning of the surrounding areas of the center. The event was also supported by the Timur Laut District Welfare Office, Penang and the social work staff of USM. Microsoft LIST OF MEMBERS LIFE MEMBERS 1. Abdul Razak b Abd Manaf 2.
