Description
In recognition of both the needs of social work and practitioners and students, this work offers guidance on essential social work law and procedure. In Part One, the reader is given an overview of the modern legal system, looking at the way in which law is made, the court structure and the increasing influence of legal regulation from Europe. Part Two deals with children and families, arguable the most visible aspect of a social worker's professional responsibilities. Part Three examines the criminal justice system with a special chapter on the role of the appropriate adult. Part Four looks at social workers and the courts, including practical advice on appearing as a professional witness and the special evidential considerations in Children Act cases. Part Five includes essential material on prisoners' rights, discrimination law and equal opportunities, immigration law and housing, money, advice and social security problems. Part Six considers legal advice work and civil legal aid.
