Format:Paperback
Having read this book I found it to be a great source of information in helping expand and reinforce my knowledge of the law's usefullness and interaction with social work practice. Although it isnt really a 'laying out' of various pieces of legislation, what it does do is look at acts in a practical sense and offers good examples of their implimentation. I found this book brilliant for my social work studies.

I bought this book as it was recommended as a course book for the social work degree. It's easy to understand and not full of technical jargon. A must for students.

Law for social work
This book is good to give you a basic understanding of the law in social work. However you will need a more in depth book to have a better knowledge in this field.
