Reviews

This valuable analysis of social work operating in a divided society within very different organisational structures has important implications for practice elsewhere. Jeremy Harbison, Chair, NI Social Care Council 2001-2010 Professors Heenan and Birrell have undertaken a unique analysis of the key themes underpinning Social Work in N.Ireland. Their work heralds a new understanding of significant policy which has influenced service provision. A highly recommended core text. Mary McColgan, Professor of Social Work, School of Sociology and Applied Social Studies, University of Ulster
