Reviews'Essentially practical... the structure and layout of the book makes it both an interesting read and a potentially useful handbook.' - Liz Ross, Child and Family Social Work 'A welcome addition to the field of social workers.' - Community Care, 'Essentially practical...the structure and layout of the book makes it both an interesting read and a potentially useful handbook.'-Liz Ross, Child and Family Social Work 'A welcome addition to the field of social workers.'- Community Care, 'An excellent text which is much needed. It reaffirms social work's commitment to empowering communities and the individuals within them, as well as its role in tackling disadvantage - it's good to see poverty put back on the social work agenda! While its primary target is social workers, it will also be good for other workers in care and related fields and anyone working at grass roots in the community.' - Kay Sargent, Department of Policy Studies, University of Bristol
