A series of short, compact guides to the principles, structures and processes of particular areas of the law as they apply to social work practice. Providing a distinct range of study/reference resources for the student and practitioner which are suited to learning and practice in a variety of environments, they offer focused, digestible and navigable content for readers in an easily portable form. In brief, the series will help students and practitioners to:
