Advocacy is an essential skill for social workers who need to be able to speak confidently on behalf of service-users in a range of situations. In this new book, Jane Dalrymple and Jane Boylan explore the theory and research behind advocacy to demonstrate how to achieve best practice.
Key topics covered include:
- Independent advocacy
- Supporting self-advocacy and decision-making
- Challenging oppression
- Negotiating with organisations
Each chapter includes rich case examples, which help readers bring the discussion into the real life practice context.
