Sinopsis

A core function of social work is to assist, empower, and protect the most vulnerable in society, requiring social workers to often make decisions in complex and challenging situations. This book helps social workers understand their statutory duties, keep up to date with relevant law, legislation and legal processes and learn how to apply this knowledge to social work practice. Using jargon-free language, it provides a grounding in legally appropriate, rights-based social work across services for children and families and child protection, adult care law, youth justice, court work, professional regulation and human rights.

Acerca del autor

Before moving into social work education, Robert Johns worked for a number of years in a range of social work roles, predominantly in the public sector. His specialisms were youth justice and court-work, representing the interests of children involved in care proceedings. Academically, his major abiding interest has been social work law but he has also taught social policy and social work values and ethics, hence his latest book, Ethics and Law for Social Workers. Currently, he teaches  at the University of East London, where has been Head of Social Work and programme leader for the qualifying MA offered in conjunction with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. He is the author of Using the Law in Social Work, now in its sixth edition, Social Work, Social Policy and Older People and, most recently,  Capacity and Autonomy.
