Focus on Social Work Law

Palgrave Macmillan's new Focus on Social Work Law series is a series of short, compact guides to the principles, structures and processes of particular areas of the law as they apply to social work practice. Providing a distinct range of study/reference resources for the student and practitioner which are suited to learning and practice in a variety of environments, they offer focused, digestible and navigable content for readers in an easily portable form. In brief, the series will help students and practitioners to:

o come to terms with unfamiliar (legal) language;
o apply the 'big picture' to narrow areas of the law;
o refresh and update their legal knowledge.
