| Summary |
"Management in Social Work is widely recognised as an indispensable guide to the subject. This third edition retains the book's characteristic strengths - accessibility, comprehensive coverage and down-to-earth style - while bringing its treatment of legislation, policy and procedure right up to date in light of central government's modernising agenda for social work and including important new material to develop readers' confidence and skills in the context of learning organisations." "This book is essential reading for students and practitioners alike, particularly those who need to understand organisation and management theory for study purposes and those who aspire to move into social work management or have recently been promoted."--BOOK JACKET |
