Book synopsis

Describing how social services are under pressure from government and the public to demonstrate the effectiveness of what they do, this book provides usable and relevant measures that social service workers can take. Also covered is how practitioners, managers, and policymakers must have an understanding of the underlying social science concepts such as evidence-based practice (EBP). Discussed is how this concept is now promoted as a scientific approach to policy and practice, as well as its historical uses in the field of medicine. This book gives clear pointers to the need for a new partnership between research, policy, and practice and suggests a more inclusive version of EBP that is better able to respond to the uncertainties of social work practice in the real world.
