"This is an accessible and important text. It is to be commended for bringing together policy and practice on assessment and information sharing across England, Scotland and Wales." -

Professor Michael Preston-Shoot, University of Bedfordshire

Soo Moore, City University, London

Shared assessment is the standardised approach to assessment and the sharing of information and documentation within and between health and social care. This book offers students and practitioners a step-by-step guide to the process, helping them to overcome some of the anxieties of change and providing realistic guidance on the process.

Key features of the book include:

- Comprehensive coverage - follows a logical structure looking at context, policy, and practice

- A focus on the practitionerâ²s understanding of an individualâ²s experience and the roles of staff within the process

- Discussion of confidentiality and anti-discriminatory practice

- Four chapter-long case studies that take the reader through the stages of assessment and subsequent roles and responsibilities.

The book includes pedagogical features such as a glossary of terms, a Comparative Grid for Standardised Assessment Frameworks, examples of carersâ² assessments, reflective questions and further reading.

It is essential reading for students and practitioners working across health and social care, particularly in social work, nursing and mental health.
