Introduction

Academic Writing and Referencing is the second book in the Critical Study Skills for Social Workers series. The Critical Study Skills for Social Workers series supports student social workers as they embark on their undergraduate degree programmes. It is aimed at all student social workers, including those who have come to university straight from A levels, and those who have travelled a different route, perhaps returning to education after working and/or raising a family. The books will be of use both to students from the UK, and international students who are preparing to study in a new culture and perhaps in a second language. The books also include guidance for students with specific learning difficulties.

Academic Writing and Referencing provides you with the knowledge, language, skills and strategies that you need in order to develop your academic writing skills and succeed in writing assignments. It introduces you to typical social worker writing assignments, and explores important areas such as the writing process, coherence, referring to sources, academic style and grammatical accuracy. It helps you to develop important skills such as planning and editing. It reflects the centrality of criticality in writing by referring to it throughout the different chapters, and shows how it is achieved through a multi-layered approach, including development of stance and argument, choice of language, and considered reference to sources. The book also helps you to prepare your work to a professional standard for submission.

Between them, the authors have many years experience of social work, nursing practice and education, and academic study skills. All the information, text extracts and activities in the book have a clear social work focus and are often directly linked to the Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF) and guidance from the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). There is also reference to relevant institutional bodies, books and journals throughout.
