Description

The 1996 Community Care (Direct Payments) Act came into force in 1 April 1997, empowering social services departments to make cash payments to some service users in lieu of direct service provision.

Social work and direct payments guides readers through the issues at stake in this fundamental area of practice.

The book summarises and builds on current knowledge and research about direct payments in the UK and considers developments in other European countries.

It identifies good practice in the area and explores the implications of direct payments, both for service users and for social work staff.
