The Care Act 2014 is arguably the most significant piece of
legislation for social workers who work with adults, since the NHS
and Community Care Act 1990. This book presents the information
from the act, regulations and statutory guidance in a way that
provides social workers with a good understanding of the
legislation and how it applies to their role. Making extensive use
of case examples that derive from the author's experience as a
social worker, the book highlights the circumstances where
professional judgment is required and explores issues that need
interpretation such as significant impact on wellbeing. It covers
the key stages of the 'care and support journey' - first contact,
assessment of needs, prevention, consideration of eligibility,
charging and financial assessment, care and support planning, and
review. In addition, other chapters look at significant issues such
as safeguarding and working with NHS colleagues. This book helps to
improve the 'legal literacy' of social workers, i.e. the connecting
of legal rules with professional priorities and ethical practice.
It achieves this by helping social workers to better understand the
legal framework within which they make professional judgements, and
to apply their expertise in interpreting the law for the benefit of
people with care and support needs. This readable and jargon-free
book provides: a solid foundation for social work students in
developing a critical understanding of the Care Act and its
application, help for experienced social workers with developing
the critical reflection necessary to enhance their ability to make
professional judgements a source of reference which social workers
can use to evaluate their local systems, policies and procedures.
