Do service users understand the global and permanent nature of social media posts? Mapped against UK regulatory bodies' standards this book responds to new complex issues raised by social media. Joanne Westwood draws on evidence and contemporary examples from practice to contextualise developments in social media and outline how this has shaped social work practice in recent years. She unpicks the potential pitfalls and opportunities social media presents for individual practice, organisations and service users. After using the case study questions, quizzes and reflective activities you will be able to confidently apply your knowledge of the 4 key issues: * privacy * confidentiality * regulation * professional ethics and values

Regardless of your level of knowledge about social media this book will broaden your horizons and stimulate your thinking about how you use social media as a social worker, an educator, a student or a social activist. It is both a comprehensive resource and a source of new ideas and perspectives -- Jim Greer The questions posed and the activities suggested are strongly rooted in social work values and ethics which clearly have a level of longevity, thereby making this a welcome addition to the academic and practitioner bookshelf. -- Jennifer E.
