Although the number of elderly people in Britain is increasing
steadily, the law in relation to their particular needs is a
relatively neglected field. The Law and Elderly People was the
first text to provide easily accessible information for those
involved in advice-giving and service provision in this rapidly
developing field. This second edition has been fully revised and
completely updated to reflect the major legal and social changes
which have recently occurred. Concerned for the independence and
autonomy of both young elderly and the old elderly, the book covers
employment and income, accomodation and housing, community and
residential care, health provision and delivery and family
relationships, thus providing an important guide to the most
important legal issues.
The Law and Elderly People will be of practical help to all those
concerned with the welfare of the elderly and to undergraduates and
lecturers in social work, law and gerontology.

Social work law is at the foundation of all social work practice,
from shaping professional boundaries to determining the level of
intervention. Every case is complex and unique and therefore
requires different legal treatment; this means it is absolutely
vital that social workers not only understand the law, but are able
to critically analyse the legal framework and apply it to their
practice. This book provides students and practitioners with an
essential guide to adult social care law. It lays out the key case
law, core legislation and the HSPCC standards as they apply to
different areas of adult social care. This includes issues of
capacity, making an assessment, supporting carers and working with
vulnerable adults. Designed to support learning needs, the book is
packed with engaging case studies and reflective exercises, as well
as a legal toolbox to help simplify the legal jargon. Whether you
are a student or practitioner, this is a practical, accessible
guide to competent and lawful practice in adult social care.
