Beskrivning
There has been a rebirth of interest in bringing community back into social work, but what does community social work mean when applied to practice? What are the opportunities in a landscape dominated by shrinking budgets with their attendant procedural and risk-obsessed assessment and care management models? In this accessibly written book, Colin Turbett explores the erratic history of community social work. He goes on to demonstrate through contemporary examples how this preventative and relationship-based model can work for the individuals and communities served, and also provide an answer to the recruitment and retention issues adversely affecting mainstream settings.

Recensioner i media

“This text is timely and important. It is a significant contribution to reclaiming and reinstating a community focus and foundation within social work policy and practice. The challenge is to move community from the margins of pilots and projects and back into the mainstream of how social work develops and is delivered. Let’s go for it!” Ray Jones, Emeritus Professor of Social Work, Kingston University and St George’s, University of London
