An introduction to social work law

Description:

In this free course, An introduction to social work law, you will consider the role of social workers and the values that shape social work practice. You will be asked to examine some of your preconceptions about social work and the law and reflect upon your own views. The course will explore the relationship between social work practice and law and will be of relevance to people interested in social work internationally, although it will draw on legislation from a UK context. So why do social workers need to study law? That’s a question many people studying social work ask. Some may even have a preconceived idea that the law is all about courtrooms and people in wigs.
