Service users get together with a social care academic and a leader in the home care sector to discuss how excellence can be achieved in domiciliary care. We see examples of excellence in support offered to older people, people with learning disabilities and people with physical disabilities in their own homes. Much of the focus is on the relationship between staff members and the people they support because getting that right is fundamental to excellent care. This film has now been revised and is available under the new title 'Quality in social care: achieving excellence in home care'.

In Experiencing Social Work people tell their stories of positive social work and the difference it has made to their lives. The book was inspired by the knowledge of the many positive stories of social work practice and a belief that we can learn more from what goes right than what goes wrong. Follow these stories to understand good practice, reflect on the lessons learned, and to feel uplifted by social work's potential for positive change, support, and social justice. Each chapter is constructed around one or more case examples, emphasizing the importance of service users’ own knowledge in developing our learning about good practice.

The PEdDS (Professional Education and Disability Support) project explored the experiences of disabled students in placements in order to inform and produce best practice guidance in this area. Social work was chosen as the key discipline to investigate as it has had a long association with anti-discriminatory and inclusive practices. The aims of the PEdDS research were: to explore the barriers and opportunities for disabled social work students on placement; and to gather examples of good practice through the views, perspectives and experiences of disabled social work students and staff about supporting disabled students on placement.
