'This is a text grounded in social care policy and practice which provides the base for the discussion of social care leadership and management. The message is about participative management, the medium is engagement with people across the organisation, and the means are the tools and techniques introduced, described and made relevant with examples of their use within social care. It is wide-ranging and practical and is both an introductory text to read and a reference book to browse.'
- Dr. Ray Jones, Professor of Social Work, Kingston University and St George's, University of London, UK
'As we move towards the future with more emphasis on individual need and preference, the challenge for managers will be to deliver quality, efficiency and value in ways that are flexible and innovative, in an environment where policy, professional boundaries and resource levels are often conflicted. In this book, Trish Hafford-Letchfield gives managers and leaders the tools to navigate their way to solutions. At a time of rapid change within the social care sector, the organisations that innovate and manage well will be those that survive, and this book provides a very useful and practical route map to success.'
- Martin Green, Chief Executive, English Community Care Association
