| Annotation | Social workers and their managers are under increasing pressure to predict risk accurately, and face serious consequences for failure. Contributions in this volume focus on particular settings, areas of practice and client groups. Chapters likely to be of particular interest consider: older people and residential care; people with learning difficulties; the effects and risks of alcohol; homelessness and mental health; and people with mental health needs. The concluding chapter discusses the role and responsibilities of middle managers - but focusing on the probation service - in providing an adequate public protection focus to the work for which they are responsible. |
