Key features of the book include:

- Comprehensive coverage - follows a logical structure looking at context, policy, and practice

- A focus on the practitioner's understanding of an individual's experience and the roles of staff within the process

- Discussion of confidentiality and anti-discriminatory practice

- Four chapter-long case studies that take the reader through the stages of assessment and subsequent roles and responsibilities.

The book includes pedagogical features such as a glossary of terms, a Comparative Grid for Standardised Assessment Frameworks, examples of carers' assessments, reflective questions and further reading.

It is essential reading for students and practitioners working across health and social care, particularly in social work, nursing and mental health.
