Excellent read giving the background context to social work leading into the contemporary requirements of today's practice. The active rites a usefully spaced to enable the reader to to consider issues and extend their learning. A book that I shall use with student
Useful resource for students - taking an overview and increasing understanding of the PCF. Helpful materials around planning and organisation and useful supervision tools. A user friendly book with cross referencing, elinks and check lists.
This book is ideal for the final year social work students as it offers realistic and common sense advice and guidance. The key factor in recommending this book is that it is current.
A clearly structured resource for students and practice educators
An excellent book which enables students and practice educators alike to engage with the new PCF requirements during the placement experience...and beyond.
I have recommended this to all students for placement support, plus I have recommended this to all our off site Practice educators and placement providers. As we adapt to the new PCF this book is a beacon in the dark.
