Social work practice in the twenty-first century is continually
changing. Contemporary practitioners work in complex areas and have
to do so quickly and competently. This text helps qualified social
workers, as well as those about to qualify, to build on their
initial studies in order to develop professionally. The volume
considers not just what you need to know to practice, but how you
develop in criticality and capability - in particular, how you can
respond effectively in times of uncertainty and change to become
more effective. It examines new roles, identities and contexts,
including some international perspectives and the impact of
globalisation. Each chapter discusses the contexts of practice
(such as law, policies and theories); the contributions made both
by those who practice social work and those who use its services;
and the capabilities and skills that social workers need to develop
in order to deal with complexity in social work. Making use of The
Open University's expertise in providing cutting edge but
accessible course materials and its distinct approach to social
work practice, this textbook includes underpinning knowledge,
practical applications and critical reflexivity. It includes
questions for further reflection and application , plentiful
examples and suggestions for further reading. Aimed at the newly
qualified practitioner and the developing professional,
Professional Development in Social Work is written by a team of
authors with extensive practice and teaching experience. It will be
particularly useful to students undertaking post-qualifying
training or in the final year of their qualifying studies.
