Practical Social Work Law: analysing court cases and inquiries
presents legal issues associated with social work in an accessible
format. It approaches the law in a way that is less daunting and
more engaging by examining actual court cases and public inquiries,
and explores the stories of real people and the legal and ethical
dilemmas practitioners will face. The text adopts a problem-centred
approach to learning by introducing the reader to key aspects of
the law through a series of real-life situations; it addresses
basic principles regarding the operation of the law and explores
the lessons for good practice. Each chapter addresses a specific
area of social work law including family breakdown, safeguarding
children, youth justice, adults with disabilities, mental health
and mental capacity. Landmark cases, cases drawn from the lower
courts, tribunals, and ombudsman's decisions are included
throughout presenting an accessible account of the application of
the law. Practical Social Work Law is an essential text for
undergraduate, postgraduate and recently qualified social workers
who are wrestling with the complexity of the law and the
professional dilemmas it poses for their practice. "This book is
unusual for a law book in that it is not only a reference book but
also a very readable volume...[It] is set out clearly and provides
a sound basis for student social workers new to the law and a
refresher for qualified practitioners." Catherine Poulter. RSW.
