Social Work with People with Learning Difficulties
Current practice in the field is driven by the government White Paper ‘Valuing People’ (2001), which declared radical aims for services for people with learning difficulties. This fully revised second edition includes key updates on this White Paper and provides an up-to-date evaluation of the progress made towards those aims. Using case studies, activities and further reading to reinforce learning, this book explores an important area of social work practice and examines the varied roles social workers might undertake – including the achievements and satisfaction of working with service users with learning difficulties and challenges.

It explores theoretical frameworks for working with people with learning difficulties and examines the role of services and the social worker, drawing on person-centred, community-centred and family involvement perspectives.
