Social work has often been described as the fifth emergency
service. When disaster strikes, long after our colleagues from
health, fire and police services have been and gone, social workers
stick around to pick up the pieces. Out of the Shadows is the first
book to be published focusing on the role of UK social workers in
disasters. Their involvement goes beyond the initial crisis as the
impact of disasters have long term consequences such as
displacement, loss, psychological issues and survivor guilt. This
book focuses on the poignant and important personal stories of
people with lived experiences of disaster. It also include voices
of social workers and their organisational leaders who have been
directly involved in providing support in disasters, their
reflections and sharing learning for the future. The impact of
disasters not only affect those directly affected but also
individuals, families, groups and local communities locally,
nationally and internationally. This book provides an important
opportunity to share and develop knowledge, skills, best practice
and learning from disasters nationally and internationally and from
social workers who have been directly involved in emergency
responses as well as from the communities they have served.
