A Legal Guide for Social Workers by Professor R. Solomon

in

Professionals in any field should be familiar with the legal aspects of their profession. In today's litigious society, social workers need to be duly informed in order to best serve their clients. This clearly written and comprehensive manual is an important resource for all social workers, and others in the helping professions, in understanding relevant legal issues.

In addition to defining key terms and concepts, the Guide includes chapters on:

  • Consent to counselling and care
  • Liability in negligence
  • Record-keeping and related issues
  • Confidentiality and privilege
  • Disclosure, reporting obligations and duty to warn.

The Guide concludes with up to date information on important statutes that affect social work practice.
