Preparing and presenting cases to court is often a key part of the social worker role, but can be a daunting prospect, especially for new childcare practitioners. So what can social workers do to increase their confidence in this environment and ensure that their day in court has a positive outcome? This book looks at some positive steps that workers can take to get the most out of going to court. It explores the terminology; the paperwork required; how to prepare for court; what to do and not to do during the hearing; and actions to take afterwards.
