  For all social workers the law provides the framework within which services are offered: it is impossible to practise effectively without an in-depth understanding of how the law affects everyday social work practice. This book provides students who are beginning to develop their skills with an understanding of the legal framework within which social workers must work. The second edition will be fully updated to include the requirements of The Children Act 2004.
