Subject: Material sought on the teaching of law to social work students and
health professionals

Colleagues based in the UK have asked that this call be put to the 
listserv: 

'... knowledge of, and skills in applying the legal mandate, is a core 
component of social work education and training in the UK. Increasingly
also it is important for professions allied to health. We need to 
systematically review material published on teaching and assessing 
students in relation to their  knowledge of law, hence the need to 
obtain published and "grey" material in relation to teaching law to 
social workers, health professionals, and law students.

Any help, guidance, reading lists, teaching policy guidance and 
contacts would be very welcome.... from any country.'
