Advanced Social Work with Children and Families (Post-Qualifying Social Work Practice)

Advanced Social Work with Children and Families (Post-Qualifying Social Work Practice)

by Christine Cocker (Editor), Lucille Allain (Editor)

Synopsis

Practice and legislation in child and family social work are always changing and have once again come under the spotlight. This text contextualises the bureaucratisation and managerialism of modern social work while also covering the advanced and complex skills necessary for competent social work practice in this area. The recent introduction of a new framework for Post-Qualifying social work practice provides an opportunity for the development of a robust text covering the basics at an advanced level.
