Review

This book was useful in assisting me with an understanding of Law, Ethics and Policy. I found this specifically helpful in the Law exam that I was required to sit at the start of my course. Further to this, I have used the book within my day-to-day practice as a Student and referred to it when considering sections under the Children Act such as S20 and S17. The literature in relation to working with resistance families was particularly useful and I was able to embed this into my practice.  -- Mikahla Howell
