Professional Discretion and Adult Social Work : Exploring Its Nature and Scope on the Front Line of Personalisation / Ellis, Kathryn in The british journal of social work, 8, vol. 44 (December 2014)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 8, vol. 44 (December 2014) . - pp. 2272-2289 Titre : Professional Discretion and Adult Social Work : Exploring Its Nature and Scope on the Front Line of Personalisation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ellis, Kathryn, Auteur Editeur : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp. 2272-2289 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Cardijn Secret professionnel # Travail social Résumé : "Drawing on studies spanning the restructuring of community care in the early 1990s, and subsequent addition of Direct Payments, through to the piloting of individual budgets and implementation of personalised support, this article seeks to tease out those lessons which may assist in understanding the exercise of front line discretion in adult social work within the new organisational environments created by personalisation. A typology of front line discretion is used to consider the interplay between formal and informal frameworks of practice. It is argued that the escalation of risk management technology attendant upon personalisation strengthens the routinisation of decision making at the expense of traditional bureaucratic and professional standards, whilst doing little to discourage those informal strategies which have long been used to control the contingencies of front line practice. Despite the promise of revalorising adult social work as a means of supporting people accessing social care to secure greater control over outcomes, it is concluded that there is little to discourage the perpetuation of conservative and defensive practice on the front line of personalisation."
