Description

Social Work and Disability offers a contemporary and critical exploration of social work practice with people with physical and sensory impairments. This book critically analyses theory, policy and legislative change to promote disabled people's rights and secure positive outcomes in their lives. The book begins by exploring how disability is understood and its impact on policy and practice. It then delves into the complexities of inequality, oppression and diversity, before examining social work practice issues in disability settings, including work with children, adults and safeguarding. Throughout, service-user and carer perspectives are included, along with case profiles, reflective activities and suggestions for further reading. This book is essential reading for social work students and practitioners, as well as those interested in health and social care courses or working in the third sector.
