“… Stand-alone: interventions focussing only on improving speaking-up (30,31,33,(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)44,45,47,50,53,(56)(57)(58)61), for example when preparing social work students for clinical placements (58), speaking-up to senior managers or executives during EWRs (40) or with multi-disciplinary team members on medical wards (53).…”

“…Oliver et al (58) implemented a classroom educational programme to support social work students to speak-up to more senior staff during clinical placements. In addition to didactic teaching sessions, role-playing and reflection, a wallet-sized prompt card guided students through a six-step approach to 'Difficult Conversations'.…”

“…Similarly, Oliver et al (58) acknowledged that their educational programme had not clearly reflected how 'structural inequalities faced by students of non-hegemonic identities influenced the difficulty of speaking-up' (p.707). As one student commented, 'I am a racialized young woman, and a difficult conversation is just different for me than it is for a cisgendered white male' (p.707).…”

“…Another issue that might contribute to the difficulty of challenging the 'moralising self-sufficiency discourse', is that neoliberal-leaning students may choose to engage less in classroom discussions due to fear of censure and disapproval. Students often find speaking out quite difficult more generally, especially when they are required to say difficult or controversial things (Oliver, Jones, Rayner, Penner & Jamieson, 2017). Flaherty, Ely, Meyer-Adams, Baer & Stuphen (2013), for example, found that conservative students felt discriminated against for their views, and were more likely to self-censor.…”

This paper explores the suggestion that younger students and social workers are more accepting of neoliberal social work practices than their older counterparts, understanding social problems more readily as failings of individual behaviour rather than as produced by societal forces such as inequality, poverty and punitive social policy. The suggestion is made that the acceptance of a hegemonic view of people in poverty and other difficulties, which is simple and reductionist and therefore easy to grasp, can only be challenged by sophisticated critical thinking. Assignment results from two modules within one social work programme which significantly correlate marks attained and student age are considered in the light of the suggestion that younger students are struggling with critical thinking and therefore with deconstructing the neoliberal hegemony. Suggestions are made for social work education including an increasing emphasis on social justice knowledge and empathy in relation to people vulnerable to the harsh realities of neoliberal policy. Social empathy is suggested as a way forward.

“…This can be time consuming and quite 'messy' but is ultimately required for effective practice (Danto, 2008). There is a need to question why these factors may influence the situation where a student felt silenced but chose not to confront her practice educator (Oliver et al 2017). By choosing not to speak up, it could be seen as the student not being assertive.…”
