Communicating in writing is a highly valued skill which is central to the fabric of social work practice. Good writing is critical in informing sound decisions in the interests of service users, yet it is a skill that can often be neglected in the face of demanding social work roles. This book aims to help social workers to write clearly, accurately and objectively in all contexts, so that they can communicate effectively with multiple audiences. It provides practical guidance and advice on how to write unambiguously, efficiently and analytically, and demonstrates how important writing skills are to the professional identity of social workers.
