Description
Developing approaches to neighbourhood work and engaging communities more purposefully is at the heart of this book. John Pierson explores how social work students and practitioners can build the capacity of neighbourhoods to tackle social problems on their own, working with citizens and other service providers.
The book covers a range of topics, including learning from past practice principles, skills and tools for local working, joined-up care and services, and overcoming local religious and ethnic division. With case studies and activities included, Going Local is an essential resource for practitioners in neighbourhood-based services and students of social work, youth and community work, and probation.
