Samenvatting:

A ‘how to’ guide to anti-racist practice for social workers and social care practitioners.

The Anti-Racist Social Worker in Practice shows how anti-racism can be woven into daily practice. With examples from both children’s and adult’s services, it empowerssocial workers to find their own path to challenge racism through their work with people, families and communities.

Despite the rich body of literature discussing the need for anti-racist approaches to social work, many practitioners still lack confidence in their own ability to find the words and actions needed to address experiences of marginalisation.

This book is a collection of experiences and stories of anti-racist practice, written by social workers and people with lived experience. Each chapter takes an element of practice and considers it through an anti-racist lens. The book equips readers with practically applicable approaches to inform and develop their own anti-racist practice.
