Books by Steve Walker

By the age of 23, Steve Walker was the biggest drug dealer in Cardiff. He had a fast car, money to splash and a trail of broken relationships. He also had a serious drug habit. My Second Life is the inspirational story of a man who had to go on the toughest of journeys to bring himself back from the brink and reconnect with the world.

Drawing on interviews with social workers and their managers, and families and young people themselves, the authors of this important book show how the principles embodied in the Assessment Framework have been applied to social work practice. This book should be read by all professionals working to promote the welfare and well-being of children.
