When the going gets tough - are you tough enough? - An exploration of Independent social work in recessionary times

£15.00

Following on from their first book, 'Independent Social Work - A Risky Business?', the authors take a timely look at the challenges facing independent social work in recessionary times. There are chapters that explore what it takes to get started and the legal, accountancy and insurance implications for independent practitioners. There are also chapters that consider independent social work in children's services, adult services and in the context of expert witness work as well as managing risk and transferring skills in these changing times. This book will be of interest both to those considering independent practice and to those with considerable experience in this genre.
