The breakdown of law for default groups was good. -- Clive Sealey * drupal *
An excellent book for post qualifying social work practice. -- Dr Charles Mugisha * drupal *
Useful and compact. Will need to update re: personalisation. -- Jackie Heslin * drupal *
A good book for those who may be daunted at the throught of Law and its application to social work -- Miss Karen Roscoe * drupal *
A "coverall" book. Offers information that is easy on the eye and well explained. An excellent book for HND, HNC and Level 5 Health and Social Care students. -- Mr Maurice Fordy * drupal *
A very useful book for practitioners and students. It demonstrates that Social Workers not only have to understand the law within their area of practice but also need to have an understanding of the origis of the law in order to deeper their understanding of the value base of this complex area. -- Mr Peter Williams * drupal *
The Book has been used for students undertaking AMHP training. -- Mr Robert Wu * drupal *
I am going to use this now with the undergraduate students in their law module as it is easy to follow and makes sense ! Not straightforward with law.
It will be mentioned to PQ students who want to properly refresh their legal knowledge. -- Mr Simon Howard * drupal *
Found this a useful book for students to gain a basic understanding of the law. -- Mr Stephen Walker * drupal *
Excellent ′all-rounder′ that is both easily accessible to first year BA students and as a point of reference for 2nd year MA students. -- Mr Warren Smith * drupal *
This book whilst aimed at and in the post qualifying series, actual provides an excellent compliment to undergraduate students, to go along with a core detailed social work law book. I have found students find it useful to help them store frameworks before going into the greater detail of sections, schedules, acts etc -- Mr Wulf Livingston * drupal *
I don′t dislike the book, and it will be a useful reference for me. I will recommend it to colleagues teaching the Law module. -- Ms Elizabeth Lefroy * drupal *
Very digestible. -- Ms Heidi Dix * drupal *
An easy to read/dip into book for AMHPs and students on MH law to cross reference to other areas of law and see MH law in its wider context and inter-relationship with other legal frameworks
Dislike: might prefer a more in depth study - but really depends on the spec ific student need -- Ms Judith Matthews * drupal *
