Strengths-based social work: practice framework and handbook
The Department of Health and Social Care has developed:
- a strengths-based practice framework
- a supporting handbook showing what strengths-based practice is and how it fits with the law
It follows a 2017 report on strengths-based social work practice with adults (opens new window).
The framework and handbook support social workers and social care professionals in applying a strengths-based approach to their work with adults.
