"It is an excellent student introduction to this diverse profession. Full of information that provides a thought provoking read." Andrew Ellery, Social Care Professional "This book really is an excellent resource for social work students at an introductory level and for preparation for placement levels. It provides a comprehensive overview of a range of service user groups as well as specific issues such as domestic violence, homelessness and substance use. Each section is structured around the policy and legislative context and includes comment on theory, challenges and anti-oppressive practice with case examples to aid learning. The focus on the settings within which social work is practiced is particularly welcome and provides an essential companion to introductory books which look more at values, professional behaviour and skills. The range of different settings covered provides excellent preparation for students about to start a placement. The sections on rehabilitation of offenders and self-harm highlight topics that are often given less attention but may well be encountered by students on placement. I will certainly be including this book as essential reading for students on introductory and practice preparation modules." Allan Rose, Social Work Lecturer, Brunel University, UK

In this book, Terry Bamford challenges social work students and professionals to understand why social work has failed to maintain its position as a driver of social reform. Drawing lessons from the recent history of social work to identify how and why it has lost influence, Bamford looks forward to a new model of practice that places a commitment to social justice at the heart of the profession. The book also contributes to topical debates about social work education and the identity of the profession, encouraging critical thinking about organization models, practice content, and the meaning of professionalism in social work.

Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Social Work, grade: 75, University of Portsmouth, course: MSc Social Work, language: English, abstract: Recent evidence suggests that 80% of social workers find it hard to practice effectively and 53% fear lack of support could have tragic consequences for service users (BASW, 2012:07). The aim of this review was to determine the implications of practitioners perceptions and experiences of their agency, “...the capacity to have an impact on what’s going on around (them) (Payne, 2005:230),” on statutory practice. The objectives consisted of the successful identification, analysis and synthesis of frontline practitioner’s perceptions and experiences of their agency in statutory practice with children and families. The author used electronic search methods utilising sources such as IRISS, Oxford Journals, Web of Science, Google Scholar and SocINDEX. This review has been written using the narrative literature review framework with systematic data collection and recording methods. The influence of social constructionist thought has also been acknowledged The review looks at wider structure and agency debate and its relevance for contemporary social work practice with children and families and how it shapes practitioners perceptions of this. A brief history of the main theoretical perspectives within this debate is also explored. The author focused on five main studies which recorded social work practitioner’s perceptions and experiences on their own degree of agency in statutory practice. The author found that practice wisdom, defined as “...the accumulation of information, assumptions, ideologies and judgment that have been particularly useful in fulfilling the expectations of the job” (Barker 1999 cited in Collins et al 2011:4) has a significant effect on the construction of practitioner’s sense of practice reality in relation to their degree of agency. The author concludes that there is a substantial erosion of agency due to low levels of practice wisdom in contemporary statutory child and families’ social work practice. Practice wisdom is a pertinent component of successful structural navigation, the ability to work creativity as a skilled organisational practitioner.
