Interprofessional Social Work cover

All Social Work students are required to undertake specific learning and assessment in partnership working and information sharing across professional disciplines and agencies. Increasingly, social workers are also finding that they need to deal with a wide range of other professions as part of their daily work. It is essential therefore that social workers can work effectively and collaboratively with these professions while retaining their own values and identity. This updated second edition will prepare social work students to work with a wide variety of professions including youth workers, the police, teachers and educators, the legal profession and health professionals.

This book provides a very good overview of multi-agency working and applies it to different settings. I found the chapter on the ′justice context′ useful. -- Mr Sean Creaney * drupal *
This book gives a good overview of the current literature and thoughts about collaborative approaches. Especially chapter 5 is for my context (Master SEN) interesting. The book offers rich back ground information. The drawback for us is its focus on - just - the UK context. -- Mrs Jacqueline Swet * drupal *
Essential when looking at collaborative working -- Mrs Karen Burton * drupal *
Issues raised are clearly explained -- Mrs Karen Burton * drupal *
Excellent practical text which transcends academia and practice, making it highly recommended for social work students on placement who are grappling with the complexities of collaborative working. -- Mrs Victoria Burton * drupal *

Provides and excellent and clear understanding of collaborative approaches. Feedback from students is that this is one of the better texts they have come across for understanding this topical area -- Ms Gerri Capper * drupal *
This is a relevant title which maintains practical approaches to collaborative practice in social work. It is important because it points out the need for multidisiplinary awareness and understanding, especially as an introductory element to any health and social care student. -- Ms JANE KEELER * drupal *
Good reference book for students, newly qualified social workers and practitioners in the field. -- Ms Michelle Evans * drupal *
This is a really useful book and helps the reader consider the dilemmas in multi-agency working and how these can be overcome to good effect. As every major inquiry has identified failings in interprofessional working then this is recommended reading for all students. -- Ms Sarah Cresswell * drupal *
Useful introduction -- Philip Gilligan * drupal *
