Description
Social Work, Poverty and Social Exclusion by Dave Backwith explores the complex relationship between poverty, social exclusion, and social work practice in 21st century Britain. The book examines how austerity measures impact low-income families and how social workers can support service users to escape poverty. Through a fresh approach to addressing these challenges, the book considers topical issues such as child protection, asylum seekers, and inequalities in health. It provides practical guidance on relationship-based and community-oriented approaches that can alleviate poverty, along with "What Do You Think?" exercises and reflective questions to encourage critical thinking. Insights into social workers' and service users' real experiences are shared through numerous quotations and vignettes, while the book's focus on empowering service users is supported by its emphasis on developing a greater awareness of poverty and social exclusion in social work practice.
