The Handbook on Intersectionality and Social Work presents diverse perspectives on the systemic inequalities that impact social work across the globe. The Handbook examines the conceptual and analytical terrain of intersectionality and the insights it presents for social work practice, pedagogy and research. An international group of leading and emerging scholars provides wide-ranging analysis of intersectionality from different vantage points in social work. They demonstrate how intersectional thinking, values and knowledge can be applied to social work practice, theory and education and extend the analysis of oppressions, such as racism, sexism, ageism, ableism and heterosexism, in contemporary social work. Drawing on a variety of approaches, from law, policy, sociology and pedagogy, amongst others, the Handbook demonstrates remarkable breadth, and showcases new ways of harnessing intersectionality to explore the experiences of minoritised individuals and groups in welfare and social care systems. The Handbook is an essential resource for students and academics in social work, sociology and social policy, particularly those with an interest in intersectionality and diversity, equity and inclusion. It is also a valuable read for educators, practitioners and policymakers involved in social work across the globe.

Social policy is central to social work practice. This textbook is designed to help students, practitioners and academics think critically about the relationship between policy and practice; particularly in how policy both structures and informs practice. Reflective questions help critical thinking and links to websites of substantive information across the UK and internationally  help keep you up-to-date with policy developments.

 

The authors′ experience and skills in working with different service user groups combine to provide a constructive and critical approach to working with social policy in an era of welfare retrenchment. Key topics include: discretion and practice; social work training and education; safeguarding children; responses to the needs of looked after children; personalization in adult care; ’race’ and welfare policy; domestic violence; mental health and capacity; and comparing social work and social care internationally.

Frank Keating's work adorned the Guardian for four decades from 1973 until shortly before his death in early 2013. In his heyday Keating's fizzing wordplay and sheer joie de vivre thrilled readers. They saw him not just as a journalist but as a fan who shared their own delight in sport for its own sake and in the stars who made it watchable. He also had a special rapport with many of the greats such as Barry John and Ian Botham. From the 1970s to the 1990s he attended nearly all the great sporting events. Later he became a nostalgist with a matchless gift for bringing the past to life. But his happy, rosy, sunlit view of sport was always subject to magnificent outbreaks of literary bad temper, especially when confronted by committee-room idiots and officious gatemen. The Highlights includes much of his best writing in the Guardian on a huge range of sport plus extracts from his work elsewhere, including The Observer, The Oldie and The Spectator - and from his books, including the autobiography Half-Time Whistle and his classic account of the 1980-81 England tour of the Caribbean, Another Bloody Day in Paradise. Edited by his friend and colleague Matthew Engel, The Highlights is a lasting record of the work of a very special writer.
