BRIEF CONTENTS

CONTENTS

We would like to thank our fellow students who have studied alongside and supported us, and the lecturing staff who share our passion for inspiring and supporting students to become the best social work practitioners they can.

Chapter opening boxes prepare you for the topics to be covered questions and bullet points explain what the chapter will help you to do.	Top Tips from students and lecturers give practical advice on how to tackle different aspects of your social work course.
Take a moment boxes ask you to reflect on your own experiences in relation to the topic of the chapter.	Case studies help you to put the theory into a real world context.
Examples throughout the text illustrate the points being made so that you can see exactly how they might apply to you.	Activities are practical exercises you can do to improve your skills and practise what you've learnt from the chapter.
Authors' experiences are great sources of advice and reassurance based on their own experiences as students and lecturers.	Further reading suggestions are listed at the end of each chapter and are a useful starting point if you want to explore the topics in more depth.

When Matt and Sara were undertaking their social work degree they realised that the book they would have found invaluable did not exist, so decided the solution was to write the book themselves. After graduation they approached a publisher with their idea and invited Anne, one of their lecturers, to work with them. After many hours working on their computers and many meetings around Anne's kitchen table this book is the result. We hope you will find it an invaluable companion whilst you study for your social work degree, whether you are undertaking this at undergraduate or master's level.

The information in this book is designed to help you to maximise your educational experience. We share the knowledge we have gained from experience and from research studies and offer ways in which you can develop your academic skills in order to become a critically reflective practitioner. However, this information will inevitably reflect our own experiences, preferences and perspectives.

The chapters include extracts from real assignments, and comments from real students who share their insights with you, along with top tips and practical checklists to help you study more effectively. The assignment extracts include references to the texts that were used, but these are not in the references section of this book as it is important that you discover your own up-to-date sources. We refer to the Professional Capability Framework (The College of Social Work 2012) and to the Benchmarks for Social Work (QAA 2008) throughout the book to anchor the material in the documents that are used to design social work degree programme and against which you will be assessed.
