Description
Decision Making, Assessment and Risk in Social Work by Brian J. Taylor is a practical guide for social workers seeking to improve their decision-making skills. Written specifically for those undertaking ASYE and compulsory CPD, this book focuses on empowering front-line professionals through reflective practice, enabling them to make sound judgments in complex contexts. The book explores key concepts, including client focus and legal background, before delving into collaborative processes and individual judgements. It also examines specific dimensions of social work decision-making, such as safeguarding, risk assessment, and dynamic decision tools. Finally, it considers the organisational context of decision management, covering supervision, training, and effective communication. By providing a comprehensive framework for sound decision-making, this book is an invaluable resource for social workers looking to enhance their practice and improve outcomes for clients.
