Professional Accountability in Social Care and Health

Challenging unacceptable practice and its management

This is a useful book for our generic programme for developing leadership amongst more experienced social workers who are undertaking post qualifying studies.

I found this text easy to use and dip in and out of. I would recommend as supplemental reading and the content is applicable to a broad spectrum of staff groups.

A wide scope of professional and ethical issues in the Health and Social Care field is provided in this book which is well structured. The content is suitable for students on the Health and Social care and related courses.

This is one of the most appropriate books on the market currently and the authors evoke questions with answers to assist any social work practitioner practising today. I found this book to be most inspiring and informative on an area that is pertinent to any social work practitioner from newly qualified to advanced practitioner / manager.

This book is one of those that one will keep going to and each time read something new or rather gain a better understanding to the whole area of professional accountability.

An essential book to have at hand for all practitioners.

A very timely book that addresses central question of professional accountability from wide ranging perspectives.

Very easy book to read and understand. I particularly liked the explanations of Duty of Care.

The website links, whilst helpful and easier to update, mean that the book doesn't stand alone.

This book is timely. In a time of organisational change and financial constraints in Health & Social care many workers are dealing with increase workloads. This impacts potentially on acountability. the book addresses the key areas and gives useful examples and reflection points along with practical suggestions. I have no doubt this book will prove invaluable for undergraduate health & social care students.
