Reviews

Review for previous edition

"written in handbook style so is user-friendly....The introductory chapter itself is essential reading as it sets the context and deals with core issues such as the distinction between the terms learning difficulty and disability"
Noel Arnold, Partner at Philcox Gray and Co in London, Member of the Law Society's Children Law Sub-committee and the Association of Lawyers for Children's Executive Committee
