Social Work Competences by Anthony Andreas Vass
Addresses the issues in competences, skills and knowledge which form the basis of all social work courses in the UK. Initial chapters cover the knowledge base, values and core skills of social work, whilst the remainder are concerned with specific applications.
`[A]ims to clarify how competent practice emerges from the integration of knowledge, values and skills... It includes fairly detailed discussion of core values, knowledge and skills, devoting a chapter to each and going on to make links with particular areas of work. Thoughtful cross referencing between contributors and extensive reference to research and other relevant literature promotes appreciation that competent practice requires integration′ - Child and Family Social Work
`This is a welcome book for anyone needing an academic introduction to the competency framework and its application to social work practice....is successful in promoting the importance of integrating social work knowledge, values and skills as a means of achieving competant practice′ -Issues in Social Work Education
