Caring and Coping: A Guide to Social Services
Autor Anthony Douglas, Terry Philpoten Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 iul 1998
Social Care now encompasses a wide range of increasingly specialised professions. Caring and Coping aims to improve the practitioner's (and the general public's) understanding not only of what these various professions do, but also what the legal, political, ethical and financial constraints are upon them. It succinctly addresses issues such as:
- the terms and effects of the Children Act and the Community Care Act
- the role of charities in the modern welfare state
- the role of management
- relationships with other agencies
- and the place of social work within the community
