Product Description

Product Description
Are you looking forward to giving evidence? What do you have concerns about? Do you know how to prepare written evidence that will be taken seriously in court? "See You in Court" is an accessible guide for social workers on being a witness in care proceedings. With little training and few resources available, social workers can find preparing for court a daunting part of their role. "See You in Court" answers questions frequently asked by social workers in real cases, and gives information on court structures, basic rules of evidence, the roles of those involved in the proceedings, and court etiquette. The process of giving evidence is discussed, including how to deal with cross-examination. Case studies support the material, as well as multiple-choice questions and a checklist for witnesses. This practical book is essential reading for social workers, particularly those working with children and families.

About the Author
Lynn Davis is a Consultant for Davis & Simmonds Solicitors in Rochester. Since 1997, she has trained social workers in court skills and has taught on the law module for social workers at Canterbury Christ Church University. Lynn lives in Ruffigne, France.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very readable and essential guide, 5 Oct 2007
By Mrs. M. P. Johnston - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book will be the social workers best friend.
The information is presented in such a way that any social worker who reads this will feel confident if they are preparing for the daunting task of going into court.
The author has a very straightforward way of explaining every step of how the proceedings may run, and with all the 'what ifs' covered, the social worker won't feel that anything has been forgotten.
I found I could easily refer back to previous chapters as the book is set out in a way that made it easy.
The reader is reminded at every stage what you should have prepared, which questions you need to ask yourself before moving forward, and how to checklist yourself.

This book is written in an honest and sympathetic way and is a 'must have' for the social worker.
