Social Work and Disability offers a contemporary and critical
exploration of social work practice with people with physical and
sensory impairments, an area that has previously been marginalized
within both practice and academic literature. It explores how
social work practice can, and indeed does, contribute to the
promotion of disabled people s rights and the securing of positive
outcomes in their lives. The book begins by exploring the ways in
which disability is understood and how this informs policy and
practice. Opening with a thought-provoking account of the lived
experience of a disabled person using social work services, it goes
on to critically analyse theory, policy and contemporary
legislative change. Inequality, oppression and diversity are the
focus of the second section of the book, while the remainder offers
an in-depth exploration of the social work practice issues in
disability settings, notably work with children, adults and
safeguarding. Service-user and carer perspectives, case profiles,
reflective activities and suggestions for further reading are
included throughout. Social Work and Disability will be essential
reading for social work students and practitioners. It will also be
of interest to service users and carers, students on health and
social care courses, third-sector practitioners and advocates.
