Description

In this book Karin Crawford explores how social workers can work effectively with other professions while retaining their own values and identity.

Each chapter encourages readers to critically examine the political, legal, social and economic context of interprofessional practice.

Key features include:

• activities illustrating how collaborative working impacts upon the experiences of service users, carers and practitioners

• discussions looking at relevant policy, legislation and the different people and organisations with whom social workers might work in practice

• research examples, case studies, reflective questions, a glossary and links to further reading

This book will be essential reading for social work qualifying students and for practitioners.
It also has relevance across a wide range of health and social care stakeholders.
