Creative Approaches to Social Work Practice and Risk

This book bridges together theory and practice to provide practitioners with a creative toolkit to navigate practice, risk, safety and supervision in day-to-day situations.

Each chapter is written by a qualified practitioner, social work academic or someone involved in social work education and presents an innovative or creative approach to risk in social work practice and supervision. Contemporary and diverse ideas, including supervision and ways to work alongside people with lived experience, are explored in a straightforward and innovative way and allow for reflective and insightful practice to take place.

An ideal resource for practitioners looking for quick, innovative, straightforward tools to use in their day-to-day practice.
