- Description
- Those who work directly with young people have significant power to impact their decisions and, ultimately, shape their biographical pathway. Across literature on welfare it has been widely acknowledged that practitioners often have personal motivations for working with select groups. However, in practice, personal motivations are rarely admitted for fear of crossing the persona-professional boundary. Using analysis of qualitative data collected from a research project that examines case management practices, this article examines the personal motivations for case managers working with young people who have participated in crime, arguing: first, the case managers' personal motivations should be at the forefront of understanding how they conceptualise their role and how this influences their day-to-day work practices; and second, a case manager's personal history facilitates their understanding and knowledge of the clients they work with.
