Description
This book takes its own advice in being straightforward and completely free of jargon. It is neither patronising nor high flown but just provides grounded and sensible advice. This is particularly true when decisions are likely to impact on vulnerable clients in powerful ways such as when help can be given or withheld. The book is arranged in a way that makes it easy to dip into when a worker has a particular concern, and it is relevant to a wide diversity of people from housing officers and police to social workers and counsellors.
