The book is amazing. It summaries all of the laws as it says on the cover. It gives you an introduction, and I found it helpful to focus my reading. -- Five-star Amazon review
The book is well written and easy to understand in terms of content and application due to how it was laid out, it also was helpful in terms of the wording and explanations around this when you are new to the Social Work field. This book provided me with insight into legislation around Social Work practice and how it is implemented. It gave me understanding in how to link legislation with thresholds as directed in the Children Act. -- Mikahla Howell
