Anthony Harbour is a solicitor in a London practice where he specializes in health and social service law. He is the lead trainer for the Section 12 training for child and adolescent psychiatrists organised by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, UK, and is currently involved in providing training to health and social service professionals on the Mental Capacity Act, the Mental Health Act and various aspects of the law relating to children. He regularly publishes articles and papers on these subjects.
The text is most useful for colleagues working in child and
adolescent health or social care but some content is pertinent to
educational psychologists. However, the text as a whole can help
educational psychologists to understand the complexity of
legislation affecting the practice of colleagues encountered at
case conferences and in the course of multi-agency working.
