Often the law appears complex merely because it is poorly explained. As this excellent book demonstrates, it doesn’t have to be that way. In a reader-friendly fashion, this work constructs a seamless outline of the child care system in Scotland. For a readable introduction to the key concepts, this book would be hard to beat.
