About this title

Synopsis

Covering a range of practice issues and guiding students through legal and courtroom processes, this book demystifies an often complex but central area of social work practice. It examines key aspects of legislation used in social work in the context of practice rather than jurisprudence or case law.

About the Author

Robert Johns has over twenty five years' experience of statutory social work across the full range: youth justice, mental health, disability, vulnerable adults and as a children's guardian. A deep commitment to social justice and unease about social workers' legal knowledge led him to teaching and researching in this area. He has taught applied social work law in higher education since 1986 on both professional qualifying and post-qualifying courses.
