A user-friendly guide that will increase student′s confidence in their IT skills.

What relevance has IT to a social worker? The GSCC demands computer literacy to the level of the European Computer Driving Licence. This book enables students to identify their standard in the seven core areas and through carefully planned activities mapped to social work skills, it helps them to reach the required standard and to enhance their professional practice. Ideal for self-directed study, it could also form the basis of a course in which the students create an e-portfolio of IT skills.

Claire Gregor is a Senior Lecturer in Social Work at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College where she holds lead responsibility for the ECDL.
