"A useful and user-friendly introduction to studying social work. Drawing in a refreshing and original way on the actual words of students and educators, it engages with the world that students will actually encounter as they progress towards practice" - Chris Beckett, Anglia
It states clearly what you need to know about being a social worker and it takes you step by step
Some very interesting accounts about entering the social work profession.
I found this a uesful text. It was accesible and easy to read and would be helpful for students at an early level in their studies
A useful introduction for social work students and one I have refrred my students to time and time again. Invaluable.
I am a new lecturer here at Brighton and have not had input into the reading list. However, I have found this book very useful, particularly the sections on mastering the key roles. I have mentioned the book to some of my tutees.
I was not able to view the online resource.
This is a really useful text for students in their first year of training- it will help them make sense of what it is they have taken on.
I found this book to be of use to students studying to become a social worker as it provides students the information they need to progress into social work in an informed and knowledgable way.
A comprehensive & well crafted text that provides SW student's (& educators) with an excellent guide for learning and professional competence. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on students' journey's, theory & research, mastering key roles on placement & politics & cultures.
A very good clear book. Excellent!
The book is research based which make is authoritive in its field. It provides good insight into the reasons behind the varoious components and stages of the qualification process, ideal for undergraduate and foundation level social work students
