Social Work
     

Welcome to our social work pages. Information on all our social work titles can be found here, as well as free sample chapters and a page of useful web links. PowerPoint presentation slides for Management and Organisations in Social Work can be found here.

Our range of undergraduate course books has been written to support social work students on key and subject specific modules, throughout their degree. A new post-qualifying framework for social workers was launched in 2007, and for the first time Continuous Professional Development (CPD) has become a requirement for maintaining your registration with the GSCC. Our new Post-Qualifying Social Work Practice series will help busy social workers prepare for PQ awards in their chosen field of practice.
