Reviews
'This important, timely book is accessible to a wide audience of learners, practitioners and academics. The breadth of references makes it a useful scholarly contribution to the area of professional learning in social work.' - Dr Prospera Tedam, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of Northampton, UK 'This book is impressive in coverage and encourages a lifelong approach to learning and development in social work. It advocates a highly reflective approach to the task of continuous professional development and transformative learning, which will support social work practitioners with the demands and complexities of the role. The book thus fills a much needed gap, to support the journey of newly qualified to highly experienced social workers, and crucially, reminds us all of the need to continuously reflect on the work in real and meaningful ways.' - Dr. Jo Finch, Deputy Director of the Centre for Social Work Research and Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of East London, UK
