Workforce development in the human services

Whether struggling to cope 'after the cutbacks' or pressing ahead with optimism, you will find here books and manuals with a strong emphasis on developing best practice, both via critical reflection and via training, and all with ample attention to underpinning theory.

Addressing the development of managers, staff and volunteers - from core basic skills to leadership - these books and manuals are for large or small organisations, in government, local authorities, and the private and voluntary sector; and while contextualised in the human services, they can be read and used with profit elsewhere. Many can be utilised as resources by freelance or organisation-based trainers and lecturers... with both textbooks and teaching resources on offer.

Many of the manuals have their supporting material - including case studies, exercises, copiable handouts and presentation slides - available as PDF and PowerPoint at no extra cost.

Please note: additional books about workforce development in the human services can be found in the listings on this website for 'Textbooks...' and 'Further Books'.
