The first year of practice can be a particularly daunting and
challenging time for newly-qualified social workers (NQSWs). This
fully revised and updated book directly addresses the crucial
transition period between finishing off the social work degree and
managing the first years of practice. It offers down to earth,
practical guidance on applying for your first post and managing
your work load in the first few years. From useful sections on the
Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE), supervision,
dealing with conflict, court skills, report writing, and team work
to what professionalism actually looks like in practice, this book
will throw a life belt to not only NQSWs entering the workplace but
for students on qualifying programmes who wish to develop their
skills beyond graduation.
This book offers insights into the development of social welfare
policies by exploring the interconnections between policies and
practice throughout history. It challenges tacitly accepted
arguments that favour particular approaches to welfare, such as
conditionality and eligibility. It provides examples of enduring
social assumptions which influence the way we perform social
welfare, such as the equivocal position of women in social welfare
and the unintended consequences of reforms such as Universal
Credit. By identifying continuities in welfare policy, practice and
thought, it offers the potential for the development of new
thinking, policy making and practice.
This text provides an understanding of current professional
practice in social and health care, examining abuse of vulnerable
adults and the ways in which social policy, welfare services and

policies and procedures may, often unintentionally, lead to the
voice of service users being marginalised or unheard. Drawing on
recent and established research about the protection of vulnerable
adults, the book covers: * Social work, social care settings and
vulnerable adults * The concept of abuse and adult protection *
Using the law in adult protection * Professional and quality
assurance issues * Assessment in social work with vulnerable adults
* Dealing with and managing vulnerability, risk and abuse * Adults
with mental health difficulties, long-term conditions and learning
disabilities * Community abuse and asylum seekers Much contemporary
social and health care practice with adults is concerned with
issues of risk and protection. Working with Vulnerable Adults
provides information and knowledge for students and practitioners
who are interested in finding out more about this important field.

professional social worker. It includes: Chapters on practising
Reflexivity and the importance of Relationships in social work
Contributions from leading social work academics A focus on

Social workers, whatever their specialism, practise with people at
the margins of society. It is therefore essential that all social
work students not only understand the powers and processes that
lead to disadvantage and marginalisation but develop the knowledge
and skills needed to bring about change and uphold social justice
in all aspects of their professional practice. Split into three
parts, this book considers what is meant by disadvantage and
marginalisation, how this can come about and the impact this may
have on lives, before unpicking the key knowledge and skills needed
to practice effectively with individuals and groups. It then goes
on to show what good ethical and reflective practice looks like,
going step-by-step through the ins and outs of using the law and
policy to bring about change before considering key ethical
dilemmas in practice.

In one of the first volumes assessing the full two terms of the
George W. Bush presidency, Wroe and Herbert have gathered the work
of leading American and European scholars. In fifteen succinct and
incisive chapters, authorities such as Jim Pfiffner, John Maltese,
Graham Wilson and Alan Gitelson offer assessments of the Bush
administration's successes and failures. Extensive attention is
paid to Bush's foreign policy, including 'The War on Terror' but
the focus is broadened to absorb not only the Bush Doctrine and its
repercussions, but also his trade and homeland security policies.
The president's domestic leadership in economics and social policy
is investigated, as are his dealings as president with the other
institutions of the U.S. political system. The result is a
comprehensive guide to the Bush presidency and its legacy. Key
Features *Chapters by leading authorities from both sides of the
Atlantic *One of the first volumes to take into account the full
span of the Bush presidency *Broad-ranging coverage of both
domestic and foreign policy *Short, direct chapters providing

The Department of Health requires students on the social work
degree to undertake at least 200 days in direct practice learning
during their course. Practice learning often raises great anxieties
for students, agencies and those who supervise and assess it. This
book tackles those anxieties, explaining the ways the experience
can deliver a unique learning opportunity for the student. It is
ideal for students undertaking or about to undertake practice
learning, student supervisors and practice assessors, as well as
trainers and policymakers within social care agencies and
healthcare professions where practice learning is also undertaken.
