Social work in the UK has recently undergone its biggest change for
30 years. As new regulatory bodies are working to consolidate
social work's professional status, a new training programme, now at
degree level, expects increased in-practice learning. Yet until
now, students have struggled to find resources to underpin their
learning. This major text addresses the new agenda and explores
what social work is in the 21st Century. Structured around the
framework of the National Occupational Standards for social work -
and using terminology and concepts contained within them - the book
examines how social work can make a difference in the lives of
individuals, families and communities and argues that to really
make a difference it is necessary to think outside the box. The
book provides all social work students with an introductory social
work textbook for the 21st century with the main chapters following
the six National Occupational Standards for social work. Each
chapter uses a problem-based learning approach, beginning with a
'real-life' case scenario from social work practice and drawing on
messages from theory and research. It includes a range of student
friendly features including glossaries, summaries, questions,
exercises, further reading and links to other resources and is
written by leading authors in their field and evaluated in detail
by a distinguished editorial panel. Demonstrating social work's
potential to be transformative, this book provides the perfect
introductory text for a new generation of social workers.
