‘This is a refreshing book from so many angles. I find it engaging as well as sophisticated in its
coverage of ideas and issues crucial to the average practitioner. It introduces a broad spread of
theories and perspectives in an accessible and meaningful way.’
Jan Fook, Royal Holloway, University of London
‘While notions of evidence-based practice and the importance of research mindedness have moved to
the centre of policy, education and practice in social work, the literature available to help make sense
of and implement these ideas is very limited. Evidence and Knowledge for Practice makes a huge
contribution to filling that gap. It succeeds in being intellectually rigorous yet accessible and is an
invaluable guide to students, lecturers, policy-makers and practitioners on how to understand and use
evidence and knowledge in social work.’
Harry Ferguson, University of Nottingham
This innovative book recognizes and builds on the complex nature of social work practice. It
challenges the view that there is one best form of knowledge which applies equally to all aspects of
practice. Tony Evans and Mark Hardy outline key debates and put forward approaches to evidence
and knowledge that encourage readers to use a range of different forms of knowledge to inform and
develop their professional practice. This helpful book also supports reflection and learning by
including case studies, activities and tasks alongside the main text.
This textbook is essential reading for social work students, qualified social workers and other readers
with an interest in social work practice.
