Create a flyer for "Report Writing for Social Workers"

a good first start for any practitioner attempting to make sense of report writing, easily accessible and straight forward.

This book deals competently and clearly the essentials of report writing at a basic level for beginning undergraduate students. At the present time many students struggle with writing skills (!), and the book is useful to recommend further along the education continuum also in particular cases.

Currently one of the skills social workers need to develop hi lighted by the reform board agenda. It is useful top use individually and in group sessions.

When I is the title of this book I was excited as I thought it would be very relevant to my role as a practice educator supporting social workers in training on PLO1 & 2 at both undergraduate and Masters levels.
However the book for me falls short, both in what it includes and the level of detail. For example in defining "report" -- what to include -- I would have hoped for sections on writing case files, the importance of chronologies etc.

Although I found this text to be practical/useful, in parts it sometimes states the obvious! For example Chapter 3 - 'Getting started, but on reflection some of the practical advice may be useful for example to new practitioners. I have noted that the author's intentions are to provide readers with very practical examples of skills needed for Report Writing and overall the contents of this text do just that!

I have delivered a annual course in report writing to various government agencies for almost ten years, and so I looked forward to reading this work. It did not disappoint. The structure and content of this book make it eminently 'useable' and useful.

Used a supplementary reading to a course we run based on report writing. Good case studies with clear information.

This is a useful and largely accessible text that I hope will be helpful to our students. It is helpful to have a book specifically addressing this essential skill as it is a common complaint of empoyers that students learn to write essays but not reports.

I have recommended this to a colleague who works with BA1 and MA1 students when preparing for their first placements as I feel that report writing needs to be a skill that is developed for entering the first placement whilst training to be a social worker. Post qualifying seems a little late?

This is a good read for all social workers. The text is very practical and provides the reader with the confidence to follow suggestions made in the book. A must read for all social workers, particularly if in practice, or teaching students social workers in practice.

Clear and concise. Useful pointers for the basics of report writing often overlooked by practitioners.

Perhaps could have had section on requirements of court rules governing reporting.

This book follows the valuable tenets of the learning matters series: A clear, accessible overview of report writing. Thought-provoking case examples illustrate the complexities and challenges of report writing in social work, offering qualifying students valuable insights within which to contextualise development of their report writing skills.

A useful resource for social work students, many of whom find writing reports a major challenge
