xIn this clear and insightful book, best selling author Malcolm Payne analyses the major elements of social care practice, explaining how caring and social work skills and values are crucial to effective social care.

The book explains the key practical social care skills: - How to be receptive to users' and carers' own understanding of their needs- How to develop continuity in service provision
