The New Zealand journal Social Work Now arrives; you can see it on the internet at:

It is mainly about children and youth social work in New Zealand, but often has more general articles. This month there is an interesting discussion about social work not being dominated by legalism; the legal system and legal thinking are only one among the things that social workers have to balance in their decisions.
And a nice American piece discussing creating community partnerships particularly to combat disparity and disproportionality between services and their impact on different groups in a community, Interesting ideas, and useful definitions of what really constitutes partnership.
