This book explores structures, processes, theories and practices of engagement and participation with communities, groups and individuals in a diverse range of UK and international settings. Its reader-friendly approach uses activities and practice examples throughout that challenge theory and encourages reflective thinking and questioning. Its original structure brings together complex and contested ideas. It is a valuable applied text for students and practitioners across the fields of social care, health and welfare.
