Daisy Bogg is a qualified and HCPC-registered social worker who has
worked within mental health and addiction services for over 20
years, for the NHS, local authorities and voluntary sector
organisations. *** Report writing is a key skill for social work
and one in which many practitioners receive little formal training
or preparation. Fully revised and updated, the new edition of this
handy pocketbook for social workers provides key advice for busy
practitioners to help them to write clear, professional and
well-structured reports. This includes practical advice, hints and
tips to improve your report writing and ensure you adhere to best
practice in your written communications. Social workers will find
this guide invaluable for creating high-quality reports for a range
of common situations. This useful book includes: * A range of
report templates for a variety of situations, practice contexts and
service user groups * Examples of good practice in report writing
and common pitfalls to avoid * Examples of legal policy and
assessment situations * Checklists of content and style
requirements for various report types * Examples of best practice
and common pitfalls, including links to the law to make your
decisions evidence-based and authoritative * Checklists and
decision-making flow charts to simplify what can prove a complex
area Written by an experienced practitioner, this practical guide
is not only suitable for newly-qualified social workers but also
their more experienced colleagues that would like to develop and
hone their writing skills. Students of social work will also find
this an essential resource for their practice education and beyond.
*** *This book forms part of a series of pocketbooks for social
workers. These compact guides are written in an accessible and
to-the-point style to help the busy practitioner locate the
information they need as and when they need it-all bound up in A5
and under! The pocketbooks explore key practical skills involved in
such areas as mental capacity, report writing and assessment.*
'This book, in my opinion, is a must for experienced and newly
qualified social workers alike. The author offers a solid platform
for social workers to work from by offering initial theory before
identifying professional responsibility, distinguishing fact from
opinion, aiding the reader to construct the purpose and goal of the
report before confidently leading to an evidenced based conclusion.
The book is filled with practical hints, tips and best practice
points. It advises on potential pitfalls, offers a wide range of
templates to ensure key areas are covered and goes as far as
directing the reader on grammar and even spell-checking! The book
is a practical and valuable resource.' Martin Gilbert, Learning
& Development Lead in Mental Health, Birmingham City Council,
