Practical Child Law for Social Workers



February 2013 | 232 pages | Learning Matters
The English legal system in the area of social work with children and families can be bewildering and complex and it is vital therefore that any textbook on the subject uses case law, case studies and research to critically-engage social workers and students alike. This book does just that - by examining, and putting into clear practical context, the current law and policy relating to social work with children and families. A guide for both students on placement as well as Newly Qualified Social Workers (NQSWs) entering their first roles within children and families teams, Practical Child Law for Social Workers is essential reading for a fast-paced and complex area of social work.

The book provides a critical analysis of the practical application of law and policy relating to social work with children and families. The use of reflective activities helps to engage the reader and enables students to consider the implications of the law in practice. This book will be helpful for both undergraduate, post graduate and newly qualified social workers

As I don't teach Childcare Law - I gave this text to a fellow colleague who thought this concise text was a great for both undergraduate & PQ childcare SW practitioners so he will include it in his MA & BA in Social Work Module reading list
