Social Work and Human Services Best Practice is organised around the 10 key issues of: child protection, young offenders, adult offenders, mental health, disability, healthcare, ageing, working in rural and remote communities, Indigenous Australians, and migrants and refugees. Comprehensive consideration is given to the practical, theoretical, legal, and political aspects of working in these areas and effective strategies for doing so are identified.
Each chapter includes an introduction, a clear accessible structure, a summary, additional resource information such as links to useful websites, a list of review questions, and a chapter bibliography.
Clearly organised and user-friendly, Social Work and Human Services Best Practice makes for essential reading for students and teachers of social work, human services, and welfare studies and is an ideal sourcebook for practitioners.
