| Annotation | In recent years, the work and focus of social services departments (SSDs) has shifted away from broader concerns with welfare towards a more specific concern with protection. Related to this shift has been the increasing concern with how services and those who work in them should be regulated to ensure that standards are upheld and quality of life for those who use care services should be maximised. The three units in this workbook raise questions about the rights of those who use services, the risks they face and the amount of control they have over decisions. Unit 18 (prepared by Hilary Brown) explores the concept of vulnerability and how to protect those who use care services. Unit 19 (prepared by Jill Manthorpe and Nicky Stanley), on risks and dangerousness, deals with similar issues but from a different perspective. Unit 20 (prepared by Gillian Dalley, Brian Gearing and Sheila Peace), looks at systems for ensuring that quality services are provided. (RH). |
