Defensive Social Work Practice in the Rising World of Litigation
There are many instances in social work where simple answers are not available to resolve complex issues. Decision making is based on the informed judgment of the individual social worker. But, what happens when these decisions are judged wrong by others? Ruth Spencer, MSASS ’75 and LAW ’81, will address the profession of social work from a legal perspective and talk about how to avoid the pitfalls from 3:00 to 5:00 p m at the Mandel School.
