Description
Caring and Coping provides a clear and accessible explanation of the history, politics, management, funding and day-to-day work of the social services in Britain. 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 Actthe role of charities in the modern welfare statethe role of managementrelationships with other agenciesand the place of social work within the communitySocial services are so often portrayed in the media in a sensationalist way and this book counterbalances the hype by providing solid research and a more down-to-earth picture.
It is an ideal introductory text for those training to be social workers.
