Books by Jan Carter

First published in 1981, this book describes day services for adults, a relatively recent development in health and social services at the time. It makes clear that a growing number of services exist by day for adults, and in a diversity and variety which have big potential both for those who use them and for those who work in them.

Ethics and values, the cornerstone of good social work practice, are vital in upholding the dignity of service users. Written by a group of global experts, this book addresses questions such as, 'How can the ethical demands of the values of human rights, social justice and professional integrity be understood for contemporary social work practice?'
