Synopsis

The move from mental health social worker to approved social worker requires a detailed grasp of the law in practice. This book clearly explains the relevant law and anticipates changes that may come with the proposed reform of the Mental Health Act 1983. It focuses on common law as well as the relevant statutes and is packed with case studies and exercises that relate the law to practice. This text is not only suitable for social workers studying for the Mental Health Social Work Award, but also for those already in practice and for other professionals working under the Mental Health Act 1983.
