From the Inside Flap

Written by a leading international authority, Ethics and Values in Social Work offers a clear and systematic account of professional ethics in relation to social work practice. It combines a sound grasp of theoretical issues with a sharp focus on the latest policy and practice. The book sets its discussion in an international context, for example comparing codes of ethics from over 30 countries.

This is a substantially revised and updated edition of a popular and accessible text and it features, in particular:

- new sections on radical/emancipatory and postmodern approaches to ethics
- a concern with how managerialism, professional accountability, service users rights and evidence-based practice connect with professional ethics
- new case studies from practitioners and trainees, highlighting the importance of discussing and debating ethical issues in practice with others
- reflective exercises and annotated recommendations for further reading at the end of chapters.

Designed especially for students on professional qualifying courses, the book will also continue to prove an invaluable resource at once authoritative and accessible for postqualifying students, all teachers and practitioners in the current climate of change in the welfare professions.
