Description

This book tells stories of just how powerful social work can be.

At its heart are stories drawn from frontline practice, ranging from first interviews through to complex decision-making.

Along the way, we meet the social worker who assessed a cat (though for all the right reasons).

We witness the cost of failing to protect the rights of adults, exemplified in the tragic death of Connor Sparrowhawk.

We also see the transformations that can happen when social workers really get it right - as in the case of Peter, whose love of balloons led them to feature in his care plan. These stories from practice are combined with guidance and reflective exercises to offer valuable practice wisdom and learning for new and experienced social workers alike. By turns funny, wise and moving, this book articulates the personal and professional qualities needed to practise rights-based social work.

It reveals the potential of the profession to make a difference to the lives of individuals and to communities.
