<br/><br/> Trish Hafford-Letchfield aims to develop the reader's understanding and analysis of the structure and culture of social care organisations and their relationships with crucial partners in the sector. She provides a critique of the effectiveness of organisations and its application to practice.  This fully revised and updated second edition looks at the study of social work management and organisations, focusing on relationships with crucial partners such as central government agencies, local partners and other social care organisations. Through an examination of current research and practice, the author explores the relationships between ideology, professional and personal values and decision making in organisational culture. Included in the text are case studies, activities and further reading lists to aid learning.
