Everyone working in the social care and child care sector is expected to have an effective working knowledge of the legal framework in which they operate.
Social Care and the Law in Scotland was first published in 2000 in recognition of the fact that many social work and social care texts did not account for the different legal framework in Scotland. Now in its twelfth edition, this is a core text for everyone working in the sector.
Siobhan Maclean is a registered social worker. She is an independent trainer and consultant and has written a range of texts for social care and social work professionals.
Mark Shiner was a specialist Leaving Care social worker for ten years with extensive experience of working with children and young people. Mark has written widely and now lectures in Maritime Studies at Orkney College UHI. He also restores violins.
Circa l’autore
Siobhan Maclean BA CQSW PQSW (Company Director) I am a registered social worker and have a passion for our profession. I qualified in 1990 and have held various social work positions I now act as a trainer and consultant in social care and social work. To maintain my practice skills, I act as an independent practice educator to students each year. I set up Kirwin Maclean Associates as a small independent publishing organisation because I felt that the values of social work should be reflected in the publishing of social work books. We work on a not-for-profit basis writing affordable books which are easy to understand. I work to support practitioners to theorise from their own practice and feel that as practitioners we have a responsibility to co-produce the social work knowledge base rather than leaving this purely in the hands of academics.
For us it’s not about selling books, it’s about making the core professional knowledge base accessible and getting it out there.
