Synopsis:

This concise text is written specifically to help students and practitioners hone their techniques and develop their skills when it comes to writing in a clear, accessible and, above all, rigorous manner. There are sections on good essay writing and how to construct an argument, referencing and plagiarism, and reflective and critical writing. More than just another study skills book, Effective Writing Skills for Social Work is focused on real, day-to-day practice issues and the complex academic demands faced by social work students.

Review: I like the fact that this book tackles the practical need of the student. It covers all the areas that, I feel, lead to the student becoming adept at writing in a professional manner. --Lecturer, University of Bedfordshire

This is a very valuable resource for all social work students. It provides valuable advice and guidance on academic writing. The section on writing skills in a practice setting will also be very beneficial for all students. --Lecturer, Bangor University

The book is a straight forward read, helping students to prepare for university assignments, and the requirements and expectations when on placement. It is written in a supportive style with plenty of examples, illustrations, and case studies to help. --Lecturer, Staffordshire University
