Product Description
Product Description
The modern-day social worker has become one of society's most vilified professionals, haunted by scandal, charges of incompetence and constant media sniping. Whenever a new story of an abused child or a pensioner left to starve in a cheerless flat hits the Headlines, the World's accusing gaze turns on social workers. In its Frank account, Alison Thompson stands on behalf of her beleaguered profession, telling the inside story of social work, its hurdles and development, not to mention some of the extraordinary situations and people she has encountered in her own long career.
