Working with older people has become an increasingly important part of social work education and practice. Whether studying community care, adult services, human growth and development, or social work processes and interventions, this book will be a vital source of information and help.

Working with Older People provides a framework of knowledge, skills and values pertinent to qualifying social work courses and the new post-qualifying award in Social Work with Adults, including discussion of:

ideas about human development and theories of older age
legislation, social policy and social welfare
skills for working with older people
assessment and care planning
partnership working.

Written by two experienced educators and practitioners, this key text facilitates individual or group learning through features such as objectives for each chapter, case studies and further reading suggestions. There are numerous activities throughout the book and the final chapter contains pointers to consider for all of the activities. It will be essential reading for social work students and qualified social workers.

Industry Reviews

The book is thoughtfully structured and written in a refreshingly accessible style, which does not compromise either the depth of discussion or the range of sources and issues presented... an unusually enjoyable and accessible read.' - Journal of Social Work

'Working with Older People deserves to be on reading lists on social work courses because it successfully combines discussion of relevant theory, legislation, policy and practice issues in ways that are accessible without being simplistic.' - Ageing and Society
