2007-10-05 A very readable and essential guide

This book will be the social workers best friend.
The information is presented in such a way that any social worker who reads this will feel confident if they are preparing for the daunting task of going into court.
The author has a very straightforward way of explaining every step of how the proceedings may run, and with all the 'what ifs' covered, the social worker won't feel that anything has been forgotten.
I found I could easily refer back to previous chapters as the book is set out in a way that made it easy.
The reader is reminded at every stage what you should have prepared, which questions you need to ask yourself before moving forward, and how to checklist yourself.

This book is written in an honest and sympathetic way and is a 'must have' for the social worker.
