"Comprehensive, readable book…Integration of NOS and QAA benchmarks help students and assessors to understand and chart learning. A very valuable resource" (Practice Learning Co-ordinator, NEWI)


Excellent book. Easy to read and understand. Students have found it very useful in gaining an in depth understanding of interprofessional social work and the problems and barriers that they will have to come across when working with other professionals.

I found this book particularly well structured for the BA Social Work students, and insightful in supporting lecture preparation, I have included this text on the recommended reading list for the Interprofessional Practice course.

An excellent text for exploring multi agency and interprofessional working. This edition benefits from links with the PCF, and the current context in which social work practice is developing.

This book provides a very good overview of multi-agency working and applies it to different settings. I found the chapter on the 'justice context' useful.

This book gives a good overview of the current literature and thoughts about collaborative approaches. Especially chapter 5 is for my context (Master SEN) interesting. The book offers rich back ground information. The drawback for us is its focus on - just - the UK context.
