Reclaim the relational work.
Social workers carry some of the heaviest documentation loads in any profession — while their real work, the human work, waits. This book gives qualified practitioners a systematic, professionally safe approach to using AI for recording, court reports, research, and correspondence. Built around the RECORD Protocol — a social work-specific AI safety framework — it puts time back where it belongs: with the people who need you most.
