This book is essential reading as it informs students how to work with services users and to look at the services users perspective.
Fantastic resource giving an insight into service user involvement
This book is an outstanding model where service users and carers have been supported within an academic environment to share their experiences of using and accessing services and differerent levels of support whilst being able to provide a learning opportunity for those studying or developing themselves as professionals in social work. I am currently using this book on the NQSW Programme at Southampton CC.
very useful and thought provoking encouraging students and practitioners alike, to incrementally critically evaluate practice
The text is easily accessible for Year 1 students, and offers a valuable insight into service user perspectives.
Very insightful and relevant to a number of different modules. I would recommend this to a range of students across the programme.
Really useful book
`Experiencing Social Work provides a refreshing change in the expanse of social work education texts. Its focus on learning from people who had received a good service from social workers drew out many of the foundation blocks of practice that can so easily be minimised in favour of 'deeper academic theories'. In short, it reminded me of my own passion for practice and the privilege it is to be part of the social work profession’ - Kay Wall, Lecturer in Social Work
This is a very helpful text giving a lot of context to daily experinces that should enable imored practice
To hear the voices of service users is important to the learning of social work and social care workers. This book offers such a place.
