Abstract

Abstract Normalisation is a fashionable term linked to deinstitutionalisation and community care, which so far has not received the scrutiny it deserves. This paper focuses on the skills aspect of normalisation work. It outlines those skills which are either relatively new, carried out differently, or put to different use from the pattern of current social work practice. The discussion illustrates briefly instances in whieh these skills could and should be used. It links the skills to the different objectives and types of knowledge of which the normalisation approach is based.
