Critic Reviews

“The text serves as an introductory 'how-to-guide' for doing research where the authors place a strong emphasis on producing rather than consuming research [...] the authors will entice all who read the book to take the plunge into the wonderful world of practice-based research”

"An ideal resource for students and practitioners in social work and social care which provides detailed guidance on doing research in an easy-to-understand, engaging manner. Interesting examples of research from the field really bring the text to life."

Jennifer Boddy, Griffith University, Australia -- Jennifer Boddy

"The book feels like it was structured as a ‘journey’ through research, which feels a lot more empowering than the didactic, dry research texts that are more common. The way the book supports practitioners and students to explore and navigate ethical questions and dilemmas was also really useful."
