Bolger Janine - Social Policy For Social Work Social Care And The Caring Professions Scottish Perspectives - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Since devolution in 1999, social policy within Scotland has burgeoned. The Scottish Parliament has a range of powers in relation to key policy areas including social work education health child care child protection law and home affairs and housing. These powers and the existence of a distinct legal tradition in Scotland means that social work practice has developed a distinctive style attuned to the particular needs of Scotland. Scottish distinctiveness however has rarely been properly represented in textbooks on either social policy or social work. This innovative text offers comprehensive coverage of the discipline of social policy and its central relevance to social work social care and related practice in Scotland. Designed to complement teaching and study associated with the new Honours degree in Social Work (Scottish Executive 2003) it fills a notable gap in the literature on this subject and will be essential reading for students professionals and academics within a variety of health and social care occupations.
