Sinopsis

Dive into the heart of social work in this pioneering A-Z reference guide which brings theory to life through the lived experience of social workers. Drawing on narrative accounts from a thriving community of practice, this justice-driven book offers authentic and intimate outlooks on the realities of social work.
Each chapter focuses on one aspect of practice and is supplemented with a diverse tapestry of professional voices at various stages of their career. Each contribution offers a unique perspective, including insight from professionals who have first-hand experience of social work interventions. Examples of practice are from across the age range, from the experience of supporting a young person to move from a children's residential home into their first flat through to ensuring that an older person living in a care home carries on voting.
Real-life cases are paired with critical reflections, learning points, and relevant case law. This combined approach allows for wisdom in practice as well as legal literacy within a person-centred, relational framework. Brought up to date with a splash of punk philosophy, bringing optimism to the social work struggle for those whose rights need support to be upheld and for their voices to be heard.
In revealing the profound relationship between social work, power, and human rights, this guide will allow you to become a more reflective and impactful practitioner.
