This accessible book aims to help social workers write clearly,
accurately and objectively in all contexts, so that they can
communicate effectively with multiple audiences. The book gives
social workers practical guidance and advice on how to write
unambiguously, efficiently and analytically, demonstrating how
important writing skills are to the professional identity of social
workers. Topics covered include: *Techniques for planning and
organising your writing *A refresher on grammar rules to enable you
to write with clarity *Viewing critical writing as part of the
process of decision making and thinking *Guidance on using
professional anti-oppressive language and vocabulary appropriate to
different audiences *Advice on all communication types, including
emails, letters, case notes, reports, funding applications, text
messages and social media *Information on the legal frameworks you
need to be aware of when recording events, conversations and
recommendations Each chapter contains exercises and examples of
good analytical writing, to help writers to develop their own
competence. Case studies drawn from real scenarios relate the
skills being discussed directly to practice. This book is an
indispensable manual for all social work students, newly qualified
social workers and experienced professionals who want a practical
guide to improving their writing. Communication, including writing
skills, is an essential aspect of effective social work practice.
