Designed for both students and newly-qualified social workers, this book will introduce you to over 300 key laws, legal terms, and legal processes in a concise and no-nonsense way. It covers all areas of social work practice - adults, children and families, mental health, and youth justice - ensuring you have the knowledge you need to apply the law appropriately, ethically and with confidence.
The book is amazing. It summaries all of the laws as it says on the cover. It gives you an introduction, and I found it helpful to focus my reading.
Haven’t been able to access this fully due to. It realising it was an electronic copy and issued with Vital Source. Nice enough text, basic but covers some key topics especially in regard to topical issues and safeguarding. Really useful for reference and introducing some core aspects of social care and law; I’ve recommended this book to students and will be referring back to it regularly myself.
Work use this book again. I teach law and it is great
A handy resource, giving students readily understandable information about key legislation. The context is helpful too, such as the different aspects of Child and Family legislation.
