Social Work and Student ResourcesStudentsSocial Workers & Care Workers About IndibooksI am an independent, registered social worker and a member of the British Association of Social Workers. My area of expertise is foster care and looked after children. I created INDIBOOKS because I thought it would be exactly the type of resource I would have welcomed as a student, when money was tight, and as a practising social worker with a need for specialist information. I hope you will find it a useful resource whatever field of social care you practice in. Feedback about this site will always be welcome and I will attempt to answer any questions you may have. You can e-mail indibooks@bfree.demon.co.uk use the on-site Feedback form (in blue bar above), or visit the Indibooks Blog at: http://indibooks-news.blogspot.com/ The views represented in the following links and via the Links and Link Exchange to the left, are not necessarily endorsed by Indibooks, but are provided for your information. Sarah. StudentsYour local library as well as your institution’s library may stock the books you are looking for and you can reserve them. Otherwise, I hope you find this site a useful source of cheap, used books. - HINT when using older editions of books: much of the information remains the same through different editions and you may be able to check that a quote is in a new edition in your reference library or by using a friend's newer edition, then you can reference the new edition in your work. We will not buy and sell student essays or dissertations. If you need help with these, speak to your tutor, look at former students dissertations in the library, swap draft essays with fellow students for ideas or comparison, or visit the Learning Support Centre at your place of study. You could also take a look at 'Integrating Theory and Practice in Social Work Education' Watson et al. The Barefoot Social Worker site describes the aims of radical social work and produces a range of articles, including the following: Why Social Workers Fail to Protect Children Care Matters: Children in Care Deserve a Better Service Illusion and Disillusion Radical Ideas in Action: An Appreciation of David Brandon Why Social Workers Oppose the Child Database Social Exclusion: A Social Worker's View So You Want to be a Social Worker?
