Abstract

“I have learnt that we are local government officers first and a social worker second … nobody can act outside the law and nobody can act outside their policy.”

“Her father's remarried. She's fourteen and feels the outsider in Dad's new family. It's really classic. She's an obvious scapegoat. It's really good. I think I can do some really interesting work with it… family therapy is what I'll do possibly joint work, male and female therapists. I wish we had more cases like this in social services. It really makes you feel you've something to offer.”2
