In our highly unequal Britain poverty and social exclusion continue
to dominate the lives of users of social work and social care
services. At the same time, spending cuts and welfare reform have
changed the context within which services are delivered. The third
edition of this unique textbook seeks to capture the complexity and
diversity of practice relating to social exclusion as social
workers adapt to this challenging environment. Tackling Poverty and
Social Exclusion prepares practitioners to engage directly with the
social and personal circumstances facing excluded individuals and
their families. The volume: * Explains the development of the
concept of social exclusion as a framework for understanding the
impact of poverty and other deprivations on users' lives and
outlines five building blocks for combating exclusion in practice;
* Locates practice within social work values of fairness and social
justice while acknowledging the many challenges to those values; *
Includes individual chapters on excluded children and families,
young people and adults -- with chapters also on practice in
disadvantaged neighbourhoods and rural communities; * Discusses
inclusionary practice in relation to racism as well as refugees and
asylum seekers. Throughout, the book encourages students and
practitioners to think through the range of approaches,
perspectives and value choices they face. To facilitate engagement
each chapter includes up-to-date practice examples, case studies
and specific questions for readers to reflect on.
