Trade ReviewThis is an excellent text for social work students, practitioners and educators. The authors are able to cover a significant breadth of topics in a relatively short space due to their concise and precisely argued approach, in which readers are introduced to an impressive range of relevant case law. Their research and teaching expertise, as well as their own commitment to using the law as a tool to further social work's mission to protect those in need and promote human rights and social justice, is apparent throughout this text. A lively and engaging read. - Cath Holmstrom, Assistant Head of School (Applied Social Sciences) and Principal Lecturer of Social Work, University of Brighton, UK
