AnnotationSelf-determination is widely regarded as a core social work value and as central to work in adult protection. However, it is not unproblematic and raises difficult questions about how to balance empowerment and protection, or rights and risks. Inter-agency procedures and the publication by the Department of Health (DH) of the "No secrets" policy guidance (2000) may reflect these difficult questions rather than assist practitioners and managers to resolve practice dilemmas they encounter. This article summarises case studies of two referrals. (RH).
