Managing community practice offers a comprehensive guide to a range
of models and practices essential for the management of
community-based practice. Fully updated, this second edition of a
bestselling book takes account of the latest developments in
community policy and practice. It places the management of
community practice in the context of increasing pressures of
economic austerity and trends towards community self-help and
co-production of policies and services. Two brand new chapters
cover community-led research and sustaining community practice for
the future. Based on contributions from internationally recognised
authors, the book offers a unique blend of theoretical models and
practice guidance, including:an historical review of community
practice in the UK; the organisational implications of managing
community practice; ethical challenges in negotiating power and
responsibility; the significance of networks in the context of
partnership working; the manager's role in supporting community-led
research; the importance of participative planning and
evaluation.The book is an invaluable resource for operational and
strategic managers in local government, community development,
health, housing and other service delivery agencies with a focus on
community participation and engagement. It is essential reading for
tutors and students on a range of undergraduate and postgraduate
courses concerned with community development, community-oriented
practice and social action.
