better monitoring & regulation

 

Independent monitoring and regulation should be more extensive and robust than at present. Service user involvement at Social Work England should be more powerful and influential. The Local Authority and Social Care Ombudsman should be strengthened. A user-led organisation should be formed to promote service user awareness of social care and social work standards and regulations.

"I would suggest there needs to be more extensive and more robust independent monitoring of social work practice. I think...the current social work has good intentions, but it's not really willing to

grasp the nettle, as it were."
