This book presents what we know about what works in practising social inclusion. It draws on research and reflective practice to look at how to work towards inclusion and is divided into five sections looking at: policy; programme design; service delivery; community development; and research. "Offers a wide-ranging view of social inclusion practice, providing insights into a number of key issues and discussions". - Lee Gregory, SOCIAL POLICY & ADMINISTRATION, University of Birmingham, UK 'The book has a key emphasis on understanding the concept of social inclusion and, more importantly, practising it, which is reflected in the title. The eminent editors have extensive expertise in the areas of social inclusion, population health and epidemiology, social policy, social work, and research. This publication is a vital resource in the growing body of critical literature, making a distinctive contribution to thinking about and practising social inclusion, particularly in the current absence of a national approach in this area of social policy.'- Mike Dee, Queensland University of Technology Australian Social Work
