To avoid unfair and abusive practice in social care, policy makers
and professionals need to examine the body of values, rules and
methods which guide their work, and to move towards a more
sophisticated participatory approach to social responsibility.
Presenting the stories of individuals from all levels of the social
and legal systems, including service users, judges, therapists,
psychiatrists, social workers, social policy academics and parents,
Ethical Practice and the Abuse of Power in Social Responsibility
represents and unites academic, professional and personal
perspectives.
Topics include sections on accountability and confidentiality,
system abuse in psychiatric medicine, child protection and child
care work, community poverty action, children's rights in statutory
agency decision making, and the use of information technology in
family law disputes.
The book contains background material, a review of current
research, case studies and useful addresses, and lays guidelines
for future policy. It will be essential reading for social care
academics, policy makers and professionals seeking to refine their
practice to understand the invisible and prejudicial structures and
processes which govern their work.
