This is a  new short book from the Social Work Action Network discusses the threats and opportunities for social work in the wake of the tragic death of baby Peter.

Alongside a chapter from Helga Pile of UNISON, the book contains a short chapter by Roger Kline of Aspect discussing why large numbers of social workers are not currently in a trade union at a time when trade union membership of other public sector professions is rising.- and some suggestions on how that might change.
