Abstract

ABSTRACT While forensic social work has a long history, it continues to struggle with its identity within a multidisciplinary team environment. Some jurisdictions have witnessed the development of informal partnerships between social work teams and lived experience workers, but little is known about their operation. Against this background, the aim of this project was to explore the presence, nature and operation of these partnerships in forensic mental health services. Social workers and lived experience workers from Australia and New Zealand attended a two-day summit to share practice-based experiences and engage in small group discussions. The Summit identified both a range of service models across forensic mental health services, and a keen interest in amassing practice-based wisdom to enable more formalised partnerships between social work and lived experience workers. Recommendations arising can be used as a platform to shape the future development and directions of allyship in forensic mental health practice.

在澳大利亚法医心理健康背景下，社会工作和生活经验工作者之间的有效联盟是什么样的?

虽然法医社会工作有着悠久的历史，但它仍然在多学科团队环境中与自己的身份作斗争。一些司法管辖区见证了社会工作团队和生活经验工作者之间非正式伙伴关系的发展，但对其运作知之甚少。在此背景下，该项目的目的是探讨这些伙伴关系在法医心理健康服务中的存在、性质和运作。来自澳大利亚和新西兰的社会工作者和生活经验工作者参加了为期两天的峰会，分享基于实践的经验，并进行小组讨论。首脑会议确定了法医精神卫生服务的一系列服务模式，以及对积累基于实践的智慧的浓厚兴趣，以便在社会工作和有实际经验的工作者之间建立更正式的伙伴关系。所产生的建议可作为一个平台，以塑造法医精神卫生实践中盟友关系的未来发展和方向。

Additionally, the journal has provided informative articles on ethics, transcription, interviewee recruitment, and has introduced innovative research techniques like photovoice, autoethnography, template analysis, and psychogeography.
