The book is brilliant. I love the way it talks to you, I felt I could imagine if I was setting out it would be a fantastic guide. It makes me feel like filling in the exercises and making a port folio of my own journey. Wow well done its genius. Its not the kind of book you would want to lend out you would want to keep it to hand so everyone needs to buy their own copy. Genius- Jayne Lewis, University of GloucestershireThank you very much for the text Positive Social Work Practice. I teach on a range of modules in health and social care courses at Foundation and Degree Level. I am a registered social worker and have been qualified for 30 years. I left the social work teaching team here after 8 years, but have found that I have been able to use my social work knowledge to very good purpose in a course that teaches people who are undertaking degrees and may chose to go into social care management, social work, teaching or nursing. This 'ramble' I share with you as I feel this text will be very helpful to the students on the course I teach. It has a large cohort each year. Students undertake placements and are prepared for them through teaching. I am very pleased to tell you that your text will be one recommended as critical reading . The book is very accessible, it does not shirk difficult discussions or case examples, such as agile working or home working. There is a clear, positive and hopeful voice. I am studying for a DBA( a Doctorate by taught and research route for business and care professionals) with the theme of Empathy and Social Work and your text is an interesting reflection of changing times upon which I can draw.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
