Creating a practice portfolio is a challenging but essential part of every social work student’s placement experience. This book shows students how to get the best results from their practice portfolio, by demonstrating their learning and evidencing areas of practice such as meeting the National Occupational Standards, reflective practice and the involvement of service users and carers in their practice. Packed with practical tips, case studies, action points, activities and diagrams, the book is an indispensible guide for social work students on placement.

Provides busy social work and health care practitioners with an accessible guide to adult safeguarding in the context of mental capacity and financial abuse. Drawing on evidence and contemporary examples from practice this book will help readers understand the new landscape of safeguarding adults since the implementation of the Care Act 2014 and the introduction of Adult Safeguarding Boards. There are chapters on the current political landscape of adult social work, specific issues and contexts that make people vulnerable (social isolation, mental capacity, dementia), and important methods of assessment and intervention. A range of pedagogical features are also used to aid learning and understanding including the use of case studies, reflection points, brief exercises and further reading.
