Description

With a foreword by First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford, this book is the first to offer an in-depth look into what makes the Welsh Social Work context unique. It includes the move towards joint children, families and adult provision and the emphasis on early intervention, future generations and partnership considerations.

Covering the subject knowledge required by the Welsh regulator, Social Care Wales, it provides essential reading for students and practising social workers in Wales, and rich contextual analysis for other international social work practitioners and writers. Each chapter includes:

  • dialogue on the distinctive 'Welsh Way' that underpins the nation's social work approach;
  • focus on application: responses and implications for professional practice;
  • the 'giving of voice' section: demonstrating the key emphasis in Welsh practice of ensuring that multiple stakeholder perspectives are actively heard;
  • key resources for further independent exploration of the topics.
