Recenzii

The underlying theme of the book is to offer measures of and for ethical practice that constrain the market imperative to mindfulness of public responsibility. Each chapter offers a distinct and distinctive contribution to debate about public sector ethics: be it a citizen, indigenous, cross-national, fiscal accountability, planning or code of conduct perspective. The issues the various authors debate have direct utility to social work practice. The content is both sufficiently conceptual and flexible in that it has as much relevance for work with the individual as it has for work with the community. It offers particular insights to social workers working in organisations, who may struggle to reconcile the aims of social work with organisational values that are professionally and personally alienating. … The book provides a coherence in argument and structure and content that makes it compelling reading. Each chapter returns to the theme of the importance of values, of duty of care, of attention to process, as key operating concepts in public office and policy. Social work is challenged by market-place principles, and notions of best value, that rarely accommodate the needs of vulnerable and marginalised citizens. Australian Social Work, Vol 55 No 3, 2002
