Students often enter social work education with a very limited knowledge of the many different and varied roles that social workers undertake across the statutory and voluntary sectors. This book provides an in-depth overview of fifteen different contemporary social work practice settings, ranging from mental health to fostering and adoption, and alcohol and drug treatment services to youth offending.
