'Step up' to change - Ideas from practice written by students

This book is about contemporary social work and is different to most because instead of being written by subject specialists or academics the book is written by students as experts by experience. Each chapter is a contribution to practice as an outcome of a student's social work placement in front line children's services in England. The book contains the final theses of student social workers enrolled under the 'Step Up to Social Work' initiative. A lesson from the Step Up programme is that, if you invest heavily in recognised talent, nurture and develop it, you are more likely to bring into the profession capable and effective individuals to become our future social workers. The high quality of chapters collected in this book clearly demonstrate this.
