Product Description

Review

'[Social Work Law] is excellent. The book is very user friendly and sensitive to how people learn... it is well structured and the discussion is engaging and critical - this is certainly not a dry legal text... This book makes sense of (social work) "law in practice" and is therefore strongly recommended.

Roger White, Bournemouth University, The Law Teacher, Volume 37, No 1.

--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Review

(Social Work Law 2nd Edition) is monumental, a book to consult for authoritative and accessible guidance around key topics and service user groups, such as children and families, young offenders, mental capacity, asylum, community care and homelessness. Professor Michael Preston-Shoot, The Journal of Adult Protection, Volume 10, Issue 2, May 2008 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

great read 8 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This book surprised me, having bought it a few years ago I decided to finally read it and am very impressed. I am actually enjoying reading it, its not a boring law book as I imagined but a more informative/explainatory read that actually makes sense. Highly recommend to anyone studying social work or a related subject.
