This engaging and accessible introduction to social work encourages reflective learning in preparation for practice. Direct linking of key concepts to professional standards ensures that students are able to build up an understanding through context and reflective points, and with an emphasis on diversity, ideology, and preparing for practice, students will benefit from both practical and theoretical guidance. Sections are designed to work as both integrated and standalone resources and the flexible methodology will support a range of courses and learning techniques.

1. The historical development of social work: making links from the past to the present2. The contemporary role of social work: working with communities and complexity3. Preparing for social work practice: Models of intervention for social work practice4. Working with diversity: understanding and locating individuals and communities5. Global social work: locating and understanding the impact of globalisation on social work6. Preparing for practice: from first placement to final placement

Overall, if students were to purchase one book as a context to social work practice, I would recommend this one. In addition to key contemporary UK practice issues, it considers broader global issues. I feel this is an excellent book that needs to feature on the reading lists of a range of modules including any post qualifying modules. It encourages reflexivity and the application of knowledge and concepts.
