The breakdown of law for default groups was good.
An excellent book for post qualifying social work practice.
Useful and compact. Will need to update re: personalisation.
A good book for those who may be daunted at the throught of Law and its application to social work
A "coverall" book. Offers information that is easy on the eye and well explained. An excellent book for HND, HNC and Level 5 Health and Social Care students.
A very useful book for practitioners and students. It demonstrates that Social Workers not only have to understand the law within their area of practice but also need to have an understanding of the origis of the law in order to deeper their understanding of the value base of this complex area.
The Book has been used for students undertaking AMHP training.
I am going to use this now with the undergraduate students in their law module as it is easy to follow and makes sense ! Not straightforward with law.
It will be mentioned to PQ students who want to properly refresh their legal knowledge.
Found this a useful book for students to gain a basic understanding of the law.
Excellent 'all-rounder' that is both easily accessible to first year BA students and as a point of reference for 2nd year MA students.
