Read the reviews:
‘like a small briefcase-sized reference library to social workers...quite simply this book simplifies the complex...an excellent resource book that I would recommend to newly qualified social workers experienced social workers and managers who work within the area of children and families’

‘a useful and comprehensive guide, which I will dip into frequently in my day- to-day work, as a handy check list and a reminder of key aspects of the law. The chapter on challenging the local authority is particularly helpful, while the explanation of wardship and the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court is the clearest I have come across’
