What specific law, policy and guidance the social worker might use when working with this person.
  1. Law, Policy and Guidance
  • What specific law, policy and guidance the social worker might use when working with this person. You will need to provide evidence to justify your decision referring to the law/policy itself and referring to appropriate relevant research and literature.
  • It may not always be clear which law/policy/guidance (or section of law/policy/guidance) is most applicable – there may be different options that could be used. If this is the case you will need to explore the different options, drawing on appropriate relevant research and literature to analyse the different option.
  • When drafting your answer please remember to consider law AND policy AND guidance and consider what is appropriate. In some cases, all three may be relevant, in other cases only one.
  • Please remember that law includes both legislation and case law. In some cases, both may apply, in other cases only one of these may apply.
