Description
Exploring the complex relationship between social work ethics and the market-driven approach of New Public Management, this book argues that social workers' role in promoting social justice is being threatened.
The contributors examine two distinct agendas at play, highlighting the tension between progressive social work ethics and the efforts to control professionals and service users under NPM. They outline a preliminary framework for reclaiming professional ethics in social work.
With a focus on the importance of reclaiming professional ethics, this book provides a timely analysis of the current state of social work ethics and its implications for the future of the profession.
