内容説明
This is an important book by any standards. Following on from the success of its companion volume, a "Whistleblowing in the Health Service", it is the first text in which professionals speak out about the issues of accountability and professional practice in the social services, particularly child protection. Recent years have seen a depressing catalogue of serious failures, so why have the lessons of Islington, North Wales and Ashworth not been learned? Whistleblowers who were instrumental in these cases discuss their own experiences, presenting insightful studies into what went wrong. Not only are the issues explored through inside stories, but legal, educational, consumer and journalistic viewpoints are also included to supply the surrounding context. The progress in perception of whistleblowing from a vice to a virtue is also charted. In an environment where one is criticised for acting and condemned for not acting, this is a book that no student or professional working in social work or social care can afford to miss.
