Social work and social care continue to face an unprecedented
period of challenge and uncertainty, requiring the development of
leadership capabilities at every level of the workforce as well as
in the community. This critical and reflexive book looks closely at
the pivotal but demanding role that leadership and management play
in promoting social work and social care. It focuses particularly
on the value that is potentially created when the human
relationships between people delivering and people using public
services are effective, and the conditions are present to nourish
confidence, inspire self-esteem, unlock potential and erode
inequality. Aimed at new, aspiring and experienced managers, and
senior practitioners, it draws on a range of disciplines not
typically found in social work and social care and encourages
readers to broaden their examination of leadership in areas such as
the design of organisations, the role of service users in
leadership practice and the phenomena of dignity within the context
of organisational culture and dignity.

Managers in social work and social care contexts are required to
manage a wide range of projects: long-term and short-term, on large
and small scales, in partnership with other agencies, and covering
a broad range of issues and contexts. Management of these projects
requires specific expertise, and this book sets out what these core
skills are and how they can be achieved. Topics such as managing
resources, assessing risks, and measuring outcomes are covered, as
well as how to start and end a project. The authors acknowledge the
values and ethics inherent to care environments, as well as the
business skills necessary for good management. Detailed case
studies demonstrate the ideas in action, and reflective activities,
practical tools and action checklists are included throughout. This
practical handbook provides a clear and comprehensive guide to how
to be an excellent project manager, and is a must-read for all
social work and social care managers and post-qualifying social
work and social care students.
