The social work role is enmeshed in a complex web of legislation and guidance that has grown up piecemeal over a period of nearly 40 years. The law influences and shapes social work practice, and regulates social work decision making.

The Virtual Learning Centre offers a detailed and consistent approach to exploring the legal framework regulating social work in Scotland and the relationship between the law and social work thinking across a range of Scottish practice settings. It allows for a wide-ranging exploration of the critical links between practice issues, and is a fantastic facility to support learning – at university, at work, or at home.
