Description
Understanding and managing complexity is at the heart of social work practice. This book provides guidance for students and newly-qualified social workers on how to plan for and manage complex cases in an increasingly complex environment.
Divided into two parts, the book reflects the journey of qualifying social work students from preparation for practice through working with service users in practice settings to assuming a more senior role in management, administration, and training. Key topics covered include managing volatility and uncertainty, making judgements and decisions, building and maintaining relationships, using reflection and supervision, working interprofessionally, managing risk, and exploring cause and effect.
