Preview Morals, Rights and Practice in the Human Services: Effective and Fair Decision-making in Health, Social Care and Criminal Justice

Description:
People respond passionately to issues of human rights, partly because they frame our expectations of fair treatment, equity and justice. Increasingly, work within the human services is influenced by rights-based discourses. Knowledge about the nature and scope of human rights and their attendant moral assumptions are essential theoretical resources for human service workers faced with the ethical complexities of daily practice. "Morals, Rights and Practice in the Human Services" provides a synthesis of human rights theory and human services practice and offers a rights-based model to aid professional decision-making and practice. Drawing heavily on real-life case examples, the book includes chapters on working with specific client groups including offenders, people with intellectual disabilities, immigrants and refugees, and children and families. This important interdisciplinary resource is an essential tool for professionals working across the human services including those in social care, health and justice settings.
