NCB Now: Guide to social work assessment

In light of the Munro review of child protection, NCB has published a fully revised edition of Putting Analysis into Assessment, the essential guide to improving assessment practice in child care social work.

The book is particularly useful for those undertaking analytical assessment and shows practitioners how to avoid common pitfalls.

The book is relevant to all professionals involved in assessing the needs of children and families, and will:

  • Aid practitioners before, during and at the conclusion of their work
  • Provide managers with materials to use in supervision and team development
  • Enable trainers to deliver training to those involved in social work and inter-agency assessments
  • Offer lecturers practical tools to help bridge the worlds of theory and practice

Professor Eileen Munro said: "As social workers are striving to push back excessive levels of bureaucratisation and increase the space for professional practice, this excellent book offers easily understood ways to improve critical reasoning skills and will be useful for individuals, teams and agencies."
