Practice panel: expert advice on the real-life challenges social workers face

Got a tricky case? Then Community Care’s practice panels offer advice on what to do.

Our panels cover the following areas of practice: older people, children and families, mental health, learning difficulties, and physical disabilities. Each panel includes a manager or academic, frontline social worker and service user.

If you have a case study you would like one of our panels to consider, then please contact either Judy Cooper, for Children's issues or Jeremy Dunning for adult cases

Please note: all case studies are used anonymously.

Here you can read the most recent case studies considered by our panel.
