Biography
Stewart Collins was employed for ten years in probation in Leeds. He has been employed as a social work educator in Leeds, Bangor, and, until recently, in Glasgow. Stewart has worked as an External Examiner for many years with various social work courses and continues to do so. He has been, and is, on the editorial boards of various social work journals. Stewart has worked as a volunteer in a wide range of settings. In particular, he has worked for many years, and is currently working, as a volunteer with an agency that assists people experiencing alcohol problems.
Collins’s balanced and mature, reflective text is a Godsend to today’s student social worker and a clear reminder to long-serving practitioners, educators and academics of the reasons why we enter, educate for and promote social work.
