The Advancement of Social Work

These essays, by recent award winners from The Social Workers’ Educational Trust, illustrate the variety of ways in which social work is practiced in the 2020s.

Fifty years after the founding of the Trust, social work practitioners continue to work out the principles of social work as a profession, responding to new developments within society and developing new knowledge whilst remaining true to its core values.

This collection will be of interest to everyone involved in social work practice and education, from those considering it as a profession to students, experienced workers, academics and everyone seeking to know what contemporary social work is about.
