Law in social work: impact of due process

Abstract

Hearings and other due process protections have recently been extended to many social welfare clients. This will multiply opportunities for social workers, but also increase costs to the agency and intensify the scrutiny into their decisions. If clients are to benefit, practitioners must be trained in legal skills, and agencies structured to accommodate due process hearings without compromising their other obligations.
