At a time of increasing government austerity, it is vital that managers and leaders within health and social care organisations have a critical understanding of good planning and budgeting skills. This handbook will guide managers through the complex area of the planning process and includes sections on organisational aspects of planning, completing evaluation forms and analysis and strategic goal-setting. The Author then looks at effective budgeting skills including year-end forecasting, profiling and efficiency.
This book is a very clear exposition of the techniques needed for preparing a plan and a budget in the social sector, and meets a significant gap in the literature for advanced undegraduate students in social policy and planning. It is being adopted as a key text for module SWP3171 Areas of social planning. -- Dr Sue Vella * drupal *
Too focussed on budgets -- Louise Grant * drupal *
An excellent book to help managers and senior social workers gain a working knowledge of the subject. -- Mr Dave Mason * drupal *
Will be useful for those specialising in the economics of support planning or particularly interested in it. -- Mr Steven Bamlett * drupal *
Did not contain the depth of information that I was looking for -- Mrs Surj Sall-Dullat * drupal *
Social workers often lack confidence in anything involving numbers and money! This is a very attractively presented book covering the essentials of its topic. It will be a valuable specialist addition for courses for more experienced social workers undertaking post qualifying studies. -- Professor Brian Taylor * drupal *
