Description
Becoming a Social Worker offers a unique perspective on the profession, providing personal and professional narratives from a diverse range of social workers in the UK. This fully revised edition features entirely new stories that reveal what it's like to be a social worker today, as well as insights into how the profession has developed over time. Through the accounts of both well-known and lesser-known contributors, this book sheds light on the challenges faced by social work education and practice, and the values that underpin the profession. By sharing their experiences, these individuals aim to make social work visible, providing a more informed choice for those considering a career in the caring professions. This book is relevant for all induction courses, HNC and HND courses, as well as preparation for practice courses on undergraduate and postgraduate social work programmes.
