Iz urednikove beležke
Pričujoča trojna številka časopisa, kije nastala z uredniško pomočjo Sreča Dragoša, prinaša besedila, s katerimi so avtoiji sodelovali na posvetu »Socialno delo ob izteku
tisočletja - dileme in perspektive«, ki sta ga organizirala Visoka šola za socialno delo in Društvo socialnih delavcev in delavk Slovenije (ki se je prav na posvetu na novo konstituiralo in sprejelo svoj etični kodeks, objavljen v rubriki »Dokumenti«), Pred seboj imamo torej v marsičem ključna besedila, ki kažejo stanje stroke in izobraževanja zanjo, stanje »prakse in teorije« socialnega dela, pa tudi njune smernice ali tendence, kijih je mogoče verificirati in »atestirati« prav šele v medsebojnem soočenju in s tako objavo. Z veseljem lahko ugotovimo, da časopis Socialno delo pomembno prispeva k razvoju stroke, pa ne le zato, ker postavlja taka soočenja pred javnost, temveč zlasti zato, ker lahko v pričujočih besedilih opazimo, daga strokovnjaki - torej tudi »praktiki«
- dejansko berejo, česar kljub temu, daje slišati nadvse logično, ne moremo jemati kot samoumevno. Čas, v katerega je padel posvet, je nedvomno čas razpotij, ki se kažejo tako v diverzifikaciji storitev kakor v natančnejših pričakovanjih njihovih uporab- nikov, hkrati pa tudi čas novih priložnosti za njihovo povezovanje v širšo mrežo, koje vzajemno poznavanje še toliko pomembnejše.
Editor's Notes
The present, treble, volume of the journal (composed with the editorial help from Srečo Dragos^ presents contributions to the conference on »Social work at the Turn of the Millennium - Dilemmas and Perspectives«, organised by University of Ljubljana School of Social Work and Association of Social Workers of Slovenia (the latter was reconsti- tuted on this very occasion and adopted its Code of Ethics, also published in this vol- ume). What we face here, therefore, are in many ways key texts that represent the state of the profession and education for it, the state of »practice and theory« of social work, as well as their directions and tendencies which can only be verified and »attested« in their mutual confrontation and in their publication. Lt is our pleasure to see that the journal Socialno delo significantly contributes to the development of the profession,
and not merely because it brings these confrontation to the public eye but also because it may be observedfrom the present contributions thatprofessionals - including »prac- titioners - actually read it which, although it sounds rather logical, cannot be taken for granted. The time of the conference is undoubtedly also the time of crossroads, mani- festing itself both in the diversification of services and in more precise expectations of
their users, and also the time of new opportunities for their linking up into a wider network, for which familiarity with each other is all the more important.
