This paper raises questions about risk work in social work practice: its aims conflict and sources of concern about risk need to be balanced in practice decisions. Risk work is problem-focused, uses deficit language and may be a source of oppression of poorer groups in society through increased surveillance and limitations on freedom of action. A more transparent and dialogic practice may be an important counterbalance. Alongside risk work, security work focused on physical, and legal security and ontological security of self-identity can offer an important positive approach, strengthening resilience.
