You write something in order that it can be read, not in order that it can be written – write reports that achieve and illuminate.
Writing assessments and reports is a core part of a social worker’s role. Yet Ofsted, courts and research all identify a lack of analytical rigour in social work reports. Many are overlong, descriptive reports where what is needs is the application of professional judgement, a clear analysis and the ability to pull out causal relationships.
Writing Analytical Assessments in Social Work is a guide to the principles of good writing and methodically shows you:
how to analyse
how to structure the process of writing an assessment (researching, chronologising, informed data-gathering, putting it all together), and
how to get this done under time constraints.
Written in an accessible way and packed with examples and case studies, this book is both practically-minded and constantly returning to first principles: reminding you what it is you are trying to achieve and teaching you how to write reports that can be read by families and judges alike. You will learn how to write high quality, useful and timely assessments without becoming mechanistic or managerial. It aims to kill the myth of a trade-off between efficiency and quality of work.

Chris has worked in social care roles since 2002 and qualified as a social worker in 2006. He works as a visiting lecturer to universities and trainer to local and national organisations, while continuing to practice what he teaches, as an expert witness and assessor in the family courts. He is naturally contrary and instinctively challenges accepted views (including his own) to ensure that he continues to develop.
