Professional judgement and decision making are central to social
work, both in everyday professional practice and in public
perceptions of social work as a profession. This book examines key
issues that are relevant today. The chapters cover child
protection, mental health, and elder care settings in Europe,
Australia and Canada. They discuss organisational and cultural
contexts for professional judgement; the role of experience in the
development of expertise and professional discretion; understanding
variability in decision making; and the role of legal frameworks in
decision making. This book will enable practitioners, managers,
policy makers, and researchers to appreciate the complexities of
professional judgement and decision making in different social work
settings and to apply this understanding to their own practice.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
Journal of Social Work Practice. The book is linked to sister text
Risk in Social Work Practice: Current Issues, which examines key
debates around the understanding of risk in contemporary social
work practice.
