ABSTRACT
This chapter seeks to identify some of the main accommodation-based environments likely to be encountered by social workers today.
It highlights some of the key legislation that governs the rights that people have in different accommodation settings, and identifies some of the different funding sources for such services. Social workers need to have a broad understanding of these legislative and funding regimes in order to make informed choices about services for their clients. It presents models of good practice, emphasising the benefits to clients and providers alike of effective joint working, and draws on case studies of good practice.
