Social work in the community offers practice guidance to students,
practice assessors and practitioners within a political, theoretical,
methodological and ethical framework. The book is written from an
experiential learning perspective, encouraging the reader not only to
understand the ideas and methods but to test them out in their own
practice, which additionally provides an element of problem-based
learning. The book is written within the framework of the practice
curriculum for the social work degree, including the National
Occupational Standards and an extended statement of values for practice.
This will enable students to use the book to make sense of their
practice in relation to the knowledge, skills and values of social work
practice in its community context.
