Promoting Equality Summary

Promoting Equality: Working with Diversity and Difference by Neil Thompson

Practitioners working within the people professions have a legal and moral responsibility to promote equality wherever possible. This insightful book from a leading author provides a lucid guide to the complexities of inequality, and offers a sound foundation for practice that makes a positive contribution to equality, social justice and empowerment.
Now in its third edition, this highly successful text challenges oversimplified approaches to tackling discrimination and oppression. It combines an impressive blend of theoretical analysis and practice insights, all conveyed in the accessible and engaging style which has earned Neil Thompson his sterling reputation in the field.
This is an essential reading for students and practitioners within the helping professions, and managers and supervisors across the public, private and voluntary sectors.
