Professional Accountability in Social Care and Health
Challenging unacceptable practice and its management

First Edition


April 2012 | 224 pages | Learning Matters
Many social workers, health care staff and teachers maintain high standards of professionalism, often in stressful and challenging circumstances. However, research also reveals instances where individual practitioners and managers, or whole organisations, fail to act lawfully, ethically and/or carefully. This book addresses just those instances by providing guidance on how to maintain accountable professionalism in tricky "what if?" situations. Dilemmas are explored using case studies and the mosaic of legal rules and regulatory body requirements for accountable professionalism are also laid out.

The book will appeal to students and newly qualified practitioners in teaching, health and social work and their managers.

This text will support the development of a number of aspects of the higher level qualifications that we deliver. I like the way that it uses scenarios, case studies and information, this generally helps in the raising of understanding and making it relate to practice.
