Description
A Guide to Statutory Social Work Interventions: The Lived Experience by Mel Hughes provides a unique perspective on statutory social work practice. This textbook brings together the experiences of service users and carers, who share their stories of interventions such as detention under the Mental Health Act, child removals, and carer assessments. By exploring these real-life scenarios, students and social workers can gain valuable insights into how to meet professional standards and collaborate with service users to achieve positive outcomes. The book also delves into broader implications of interventions, underlying legislation, policies, and research, providing a comprehensive understanding of statutory social work. With contributions directly from service users and carers, this guide offers practical advice for social workers, while also shedding light on the importance of service user involvement in shaping practice.
