Social Work Now, Issue 33, pages 4-11.
Technology is changing society at an increasing pace and social work has made good use of advances in technology in terms of easier access to information, more efficient communication, increasing access to global developments, and use of research findings. New developments occur rapidly, and the wide-ranging nature of the social impact on children, young people and their families is staggering. In relation to social work, these developments are particularly relevant to the field of child protection, and service delivery within it.
