Publisher's Synopsis
Social work is at an important stage in its development. All professions must be responsive to changing social and economic conditions if they are to meet the needs of those they serve. This series focuses on sound practice and the specific contribution which social workers can make to the well-being of our society.;The British Association of Social Workers has always been conscious of its role in setting guidelines for practice and in seeking to raise professional standards. The conception of the "Practical Social Work" series arose from a survey of BASW members to discover where they, the practitioners in social work, felt there was the most need for new literature.
