This is an excellent book at an introductory level that will benefit students in understanding the link between social policy and social work. Students will enjoy reading it as it is relevant and clearly linked to contemporary issues and practice.
Really useful book and I will be recommending this to my students
This book is essential for all students undertaking a Social Policy or Social Work course. It gives the student the underlying knowledge and understanding. It is written in such a way that it is easy to follow.
A very useful book that gives students an excellent introduction to this area of study.
I found the chapter on 'Youth, social policy, social work and the crisis of youth' very interesting and useful for the students to develop critical thinking.
This is a good text that offers a broad introduction to social work and social policy and their relationship.
