AlbakiReads Editorial
Safety and risk management in social care and health work
Brian Atkins’s second edition examines how social workers and health professionals can assess and manage situations involving threats from service users or others. Its coverage links individual safety awareness with teamwork and organisational support, including employers’ responsibilities and duty of care. New material addresses online and digital issues, the return to work after Covid-19, decision-making under stress, and therapeutic approaches to reducing threats while responding to service users’ needs. Interviews with managers and front-line staff add perspectives from children’s and adult social care and health services. The book also connects workplace safety with practice in child protection and casework placements.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Social work and health professionals managing risk in frontline roles
- Students preparing for placements or child-protection casework
- Managers and supervisors in social care and health services
