Recenzii

This text is essential for a student’s personal library as it can be read cover-to-cover, but also dipped in and out of easily, which is the mark of a strong textbook.

Having used so many different social work textbooks over the years, it was a relief to find this book, it is comprehensive, but very easy to read. The book offers a valuable insight into the world of social work, and it covers many important topics such as social policy, law, ethics, and how to apply social work issues to practise contexts.
 One of the key things I love, is that it not only has resources within the book, but it also has them online. There are so many different resources available, but I particularly like the case studies and recommended reading, as I find them super useful when I am writing an essay.
 Whether you are in your first year or close to qualifying, this book is a must buy and you will definitely make use of it for years to come!
