Social Work Decision Making: A Guide for Child Care Lawyers - Softcover

Social workers working with children and families are required to make complex and difficult decisions on a daily basis which often result in court proceedings. Social Work Decision-Making: A Guide for Childcare Lawyers is a comprehensive guide for childcare lawyers and other professionals seeking to understand the policies and procedures involved in such social work practice.
This book explores what social workers are required to do in order to 'get it right', and, perhaps more importantly, how to identify when social workers may have 'got it wrong'. By exploring the way in which social workers practise, this book equips professionals with the knowledge and skill to deconstruct and analyse the decision-making - within the framework of the regulatory requirements and the context of government guidance governing best practice.
