Summary:

"The gap between the theory and the practice of working with black and minority ethnic groups presents an ongoing conundrum for social work. This exciting textbook presents a new theory based on a rich understanding of the constraints and creativities of practice. Taking a transformative approach, this accessible textbook presents evidence from both academics and practitioners. Contributions draw on real-life practice scenarios and present case studies to illustrate the many dimensions of working in a diverse society, encouraging students and practitioners to form innovative solutions to service delivery. This text covers practice themes such as risk, co-production, interpreting, multi-disciplinary working and personalisation. It is vital reading for all social work students and for practitioners undertaking professional development." --back cover.
