Reading a legal document such as an act can be a daunting prospect, especially if you are unfamiliar with legal issues. This is a really useful book for anyone wanting to know more about the law in relation to children's mental health. It is authoritative, but still easy to read. The layout is clear and allows the reader to dip in and out to find references to the information that is relevant to them. The author uses case studies throughout, which are particularly helpful as they give context to what could have been quite a dry read.
As well as looking at specific acts, the book also examines issues that have been highlighted as problem areas such as confidentiality. YoungMinds, the charity that I work for, understands from the children and young people it speaks to that confidentiality is a big concern to them. The book helps the reader think through how legislation is relevant to a range of issues that may come up during the course of their work.
