"It is an excellent student introduction to this diverse profession. Full of information that provides a thought provoking read."
Andrew Ellery, Social Care Professional"This book really is an excellent resource for social work students at an introductory level and for preparation for placement levels. It provides a comprehensive overview of a range of service user groups as well as specific issues such as domestic violence, homelessness and substance use. Each section is structured around the policy and legislative context and includes comment on theory, challenges and anti-oppressive practice with case examples to aid learning.
The focus on the settings within which social work is practiced is particularly welcome and provides an essential companion to introductory books which look more at values, professional behaviour and skills. The range of different settings covered provides excellent preparation for students about to start a placement. The sections on rehabilitation of offenders and self-harm highlight topics that are often given less attention but may well be encountered by students on placement.
I will certainly be including this book as essential reading for students on introductory and practice preparation modules."
Allan Rose, Social Work Lecturer, Brunel University, UK
