Abstract

This comprehensive Research Handbook explores how the social work and social values of social justice, equality and human rights underpin leadership in the sector and beyond. Whilst this is a strength of the sector, realising such values raises a series of tensions and complexities within the contemporary context of social work and social care. Bringing together over 60 renowned experts from Europe, North America and Australia, the Research Handbook provides key insights into the distinct aspects of leadership within social work and care.
