Summary : This is an open access book. ICHESS started in 2018, the last four sessions of ICHESS have all been successfully published. ICHESS is to bring together innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of Humanities Education and Social Sciences to a common forum. Humanities education and social science are closely related concepts, and there is a mutually reinforcing and interdependent relationship between them. Firstly, humanistic education can provide the foundation and background for social science. Humanities education is a form of education aimed at popularizing knowledge and skills among the public, including school education, public libraries, museums, popular science exhibitions, etc. These institutions not only provide rich knowledge resources, but also enable people to more deeply understand the value and application methods of scientific knowledge, thereby becoming more passionate about scientific learning. Secondly, humanistic education can also promote the development of social sciences. Education is a form of education that cultivates people's scientific thinking, methods, and skills. Through education, people can better understand the world and life, and improve their understanding of technological innovation and social development. These knowledge and skills can be applied to various fields of production, life, culture, and society, thereby promoting the innovation and development of social education. Therefore, the relationship between humanities education and social science is mutually reinforcing and interdependent. The two play an important role in knowledge dissemination, ideological enlightenment, and social development, and should be valued and applied in educational practice.

Summary : AI and Ethical Practice in Social Work Reflections and Risks in Child Protection and Family Work Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future challenge for social work-it is already here. From child protection referrals to court reports, AI tools are being used formally and informally, creatively and under pressure, and sometimes unethically. This timely and practitioner-rooted book explores what that means for frontline workers, the families they serve, and the future of care. Drawing on lived experience in UK safeguarding and statutory practice, this book speaks directly to those working in children and families' social work. It does not hype the technology, nor reject it outright. Instead, it offers a careful and courageous exploration of what it means to engage with AI in a profession built on human relationships, ethical reflection, and trust. What's inside: Real-life case examples of AI's presence in frontline children's services Global policy insights, including predictive analytics in the UK, US, Netherlands, and Australia The Victoria, Australia case study: where court reports written using ChatGPT led to a nationwide ban A six-part ethical framework tailored for social work practice: transparency, equity, privacy, authorship, reflection, and accountability Guidance on key AI challenges: hallucination, bias, tone, authorship, professional dependency, and emotional erosion Fictionalised case scenarios for supervision, CPD, and team reflection Everyday tools: prompts, ethical checklists, supervision questions, and planning templates A dedicated chapter of practical tips to help social workers use AI without losing their professional voice, values, or judgment Who this book is for: Frontline child protection and safeguarding professionals Social workers, team managers, and service leaders Students, educators, and researchers in social work, safeguarding, and digital ethics Multi-agency partners including education, health, early help, police, and youth services Families, advocates, and care-experienced individuals curious about AI in public systems Written in clear, plain British English and grounded in relational practice, this book invites honest engagement with one of the most urgent developments facing the social work profession.

Whether you're sceptical, curious, or already using AI tools like ChatGPT in your work, this book offers guidance without judgement. It challenges silence. It equips action. It insists that, even in a world of fast technology, the heart of practice must remain human. In the end, it will not be AI that protects children. It will be you.

Summary : Issues raised by the Theory of Knowledge, a central theme in the development of Artificial Intelligence, are the main topic of this book. The major questions are: How is the expert's knowledge to be elicited, what are the limits and possibilities? How can skill be developed and maintained in a more and more computerized and abstract working life? This last question is also closely related to the discussion on programs for education and training in society and working life. Long term effects on skill formation in working life in relation to new technology are a very important area of research. Case studies form the basis for philosophical reflections with the main concept of tacit knowledge as the central issue of skill and new technology. To a great extent the discussion is based on current case studies of professional groups with experience in advanced computer technology. The contributions of this book demonstrate the complicated nature of human knowledge. They introduce different theoretical perspectives on the issue of knowledge acquisition and elicitation.
