It is essential that all social work students understand what leads to disadvantage and marginalisation and develop the knowledge and skills to bring about change and uphold social justice in their professional practice. This book considers what is meant by disadvantage and marginalisation, how this can come about and the impact this may have on lives, and the key knowledge and skills needed to practice effectively with individuals and groups. It shows what good ethical and reflective practice looks like, going step-by-step through the ins and outs of using the law and policy to bring about change, and considering key ethical dilemmas in practice.
