In recent years there has been a significant shift within social
work practice towards recognising the expertise of people with a
lived experience. As a result service user involvement is now
embedded into curricula. Throughout this textbook, service users
and carers detail their experiences of interventions including
being detained under the Mental Health Act, having a child removed
to a place of safety and having a carer's assessment. In meeting
professional standards such as the Professional Capabilities
Framework, students and social workers are required to take into
account service user perspectives, and to collaborate with them to
achieve positive outcomes. Chapters end with advice to social
workers directly from contributors, providing invaluable
perspectives on different intervention situations. There is
specific focus on statutory social work throughout, as well as an
exploration of broader implications of interventions, the
underpinning legislation, policies and research.
