Supported by the National Institute for Social Work, this valuable handbook guides new and inexperienced managers through the many management dilemmas faced in the social services setting. Bringing together contributions from managers and trainers in social work, it ensures that management theory can be linked to developing good practice in social work.
Too often professional staff are thrust into the role of manager without preparation or subsequent guidance over what becoming a manager entails. On Becoming a Manager is written by managers from a range of personal social services settings. It describes the transition from practice into this new world of management and includes advice, guidance and tips on a range of issues, including managing risk, change, conflict and resources. Alongside these are tools for managers which are particularly relevant in the context of Community Care and the Children Act 1989, such as budgeting, evaluating and empowerment through contracts. It is an essential reader for about to be, new and existing managers wishing to improve and consolidate their practice.
