description This Special Issue is interested in the educational context of social policy and its implications for social work professionals and community practice. The papers presented here were selected based on an open call for contributions. They examine the role of social policy within the context of social work education and its relationship to actual experiences of professional practice.

The Issue offers an international perspective with contributions from the UK, Germany, Estonia, Italy, USA, and Norway.
