National Institute for Social Work

He has been accused of using his NISW status to enable PIE associates and convicted sex offenders to work in youth counselling agencies and residential care for children[5].

When the National Institute for Social Work closed in 2003, its archives were deposited at the Modern Records Centre, University of Warwick.

Other research staff working on the social services workforce project were transferred to King's College, University of London.

[7] NISW's Research Unit[8] was established in 1963 by Tilda Goldberg,[9] who designed the first randomised controlled trials in British social work.

These included: Southwark Community Project (1968–1973)[15] Race Equality Unit (1987–1995)[16] By the end of the 1990s, NISW's Library comprised some 30,000 books and 300 journal titles.

The library attracted social workers, students and scholars, but it was also a valuable resource to staff from government departments, as well those in other statutory bodies and voluntary agencies who had their headquarters in or near central London.

NISW's policy of renting out office space to kindred organisations brought in not just valuable income but also fellow professionals with new or different ideas to share.

All of NISW's activities were strengthened by its ability to attract a steady stream of visiting professors, all but two of whom came from American universities: Ken Daniels (New Zealand), Eileen Gambrill, Neil Gilbert, Charles Grosser, Arnold Gurin, Ken Heap (Norway), Ralph Kramer, Frank Maple, Anne Minahan, Mel Moguloff, Robert Perlman, Allen Pincus, Jack Rothman, Harry Specht, Roland Warren, James Whittaker.
