There is a new chapter on the Human Rights Act as it applies to children and the law. Also, ammendments to the Children Act 1989 consequent on legal judgements are explained. A series of chapters cover application of the Mental Health Act 1983 to young people. The material is based on the Royal College of Psychiatrists training course.
