Using the Law in Social Work by Robert Johns

Using the Law in Social Work by Robert Johns

Looking at how the law in England and Wales interacts with key aspects of practice such as human rights, mental health, youth justice and community care, this book includes information on Working Together to Safeguard Children (2012), the Mental Capacity Act 2005, the Children and Families Act 2014, and the Care Act 2014.

Before moving into social work education, Robert Johns worked for a number of years in a range of social work roles, predominantly in the public sector. His specialisms were youth justice and court-work, representing the interests of children involved in care proceedings. Academically, his major abiding interest has been social work law but he has also taught social policy and social work values and ethics, hence his latest book, Ethics and Law for Social Workers. Currently, he teaches  at the University of East London, where has been Head of Social Work and programme leader for the qualifying MA offered in conjunction with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. He is the author of Using the Law in Social Work, now in its sixth edition, Social Work, Social Policy and Older People and, most recently,  Capacity and Autonomy.
