Series: Focus on Social Work Law

Working to safeguard adults is a complex area of practice that requires careful balancing of autonomy, protection and risk. In order to make good, lawful judgements about when and how to intervene, practitioners therefore need to have a comprehensive understanding of how the law applies to safeguarding adults.

In this text book best-selling author Alison Brammer brings together the many strands of adult safeguarding to provide a succinct guide to the legal framework. Designed to equip practitioners with the relevant knowledge for practice, it lays out the current legislation and guidance and applies it to different areas of adult safeguarding, including defining 'abuse', assessing capacity and dealing with cases of criminal law. The book goes on to analyse key examples of serious case reviews, including the cases of Steve Hoskin and Michael Gilbert.

Whether taking a module on Social Work Law or Safeguarding, or a qualified Social Worker, this concise guide to a key aspect of practise is essential reading.

How do you apply the principles, structures and processes of the law to everyday practice? Drawing on a wealth of contemporary case examples, this handy pocket book provides a clear text which brings the many complex strands of safeguarding adults together in a succinct and accessible way.

- Students taking Social Work qualifying undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. - Qualifies Social Workers fulfilling their learning development requirements. - Undergraduate and postgraduate students of other disciplines looking to understand the influence of law within professional decision-making (e.g. students of Youth Work, Community Work and Health)

New to this Edition: - Each chapter is updated and revised to ensure currency - Includes the Care Act 2014 - Contains links/signposts to further learning to help illustrate how law is applied in practice
