An invaluable resource for all social workers in practice with children and families, this book examines key issues such as child protection, family support, care planning, adoption and case preparation for court.

With illustrative case studies throughout, the text is divided into two sections:" Part 1 explores the legal context of social work practice with children, examining how international human rights standards are absorbed within domestic law.
