Dr. Carol Lewis, Visiting Fellow, School of Health and Social Care, Bournemouth University "This is a well-crafted book by one of social work's leading authors. It provides an excellent introduction to the field. I particularly welcome the emphasis on social justice. " Neil Thompson, Avenue Consulting Ltd

Format:Paperback
This book is what it says in the title, It is a good short guide. I bought this book before the start of my course, i found it useful regarding social work but not for studying; don't let that put you off. It is also a quick and easy read which covers different areas within social work. I am sure i will refer back to it throughout my time doing placements etc.
Format:Paperback
Great for anyone wanting to go into the field but are not quite sure what it's about. Short and simple to understand but also useful.
