Professionals, however, cannot arbitrarily select which policy to follow in any circumstance. Knowing what comprises a given policy is essential, but equally important is understanding how to amend a policy by applying unique skills that reflect the social work profession's shared values and beliefs. Recognizing that a series of interdependent social policies govern every aspect of social work in both nonprofit and public organizations, this practice-specific textbook focuses on influencing social policies in an agency setting or through formal governmental processes. Purposefully, the Handbook also relies on information comes from the digital world; using the web as a primary source builds on the social work profession's long-held belief to \"begin where the client is.\" Using the links to the various data and citation sources, readers will learn to identify and discern the features of a valid web site. As a whole, The Handbook of Policy Practice is an essential resource for all BSW and MSW students.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47595558109335,"sku":"9780190858827","price":5549.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190858827.webp?v=1774990240","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/handbook-of-policy-practice-9780190858827","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
