This is a simple and effective guide for social work students and seasoned practitioners empowering them to understand and navigate how to make fair and objective decisions while cultivating a heightened awareness of their own personal biases.
Our personal experiences from birth to the present can shape our conscious and unconscious decisions in everyday life. Yet this may lead to unfair or harmful decision making in the social work environment. This book provides a step-by-step guide on how to develop effective personal and professional judgement, backed up with theory and research to help readers increase their self-awareness, understand their own unconscious bias and how it can affect their decision making.
Reflective exercises and practical examples are provided throughout to encourage readers to consider how they might implement their new understanding when making decisions in their social work roles.
