This book helps students develop a distinctive focus on social work practice in the context of working with older people. It enables readers to develop the knowledge, skills and values that will enable them to promote and protect the individual and collective well-being of the older people with whom they work. This book is designed to be used as an interactive resource, with activities and case studies throughout the text. The case studies and summaries of contemporary research illustrate and draw out key points, to aid and reinforce learning. There are also links to current Government guidance and policy documents, all of which support best social work practice when working with older people.
