Based on the results of a European Social Fund project, this book critically appraises the benefits and challenges of involving service users in social work research, practice and education. During recent decades a strong interest has grown in actively involving service users in Social Work education, research and policy development. Drawing on a major European Social Fund project, this book presents an overview of inspiring collaborative models that have proven their efficacy and sustainability. Contributions from service users, lecturers and researchers from across Europe provide detailed case studies of good practice, exploring the value framework behind the model, and considering their added value from a user, teacher and student perspective. The book concludes with a series of reflective chapters, considering key issues and ethical dilemmas.
