Tough Love

This article argues that New Labour's priorities for social inclusion through employment, and for strenthening civil society, have relegated public-sector social work to a limited role in assessing and managing risks. However, as failures in the government's top-down, regulatory approach emerge, there will be new opportunities for a broader-based version of the profession to contribute to a more progressive programme
