Question from Community Care: Sexuality and social work part 2

Sexuality and social work part 2

By Christine Cocker and Paul Dugmore

* How well are issues of sexuality addressed within your organisational policies and practice? What are the implications for your own personal practice?

* What place do personal values have within social work practice and what are the implications for social work practice where these values differ from the legislation and the policy guidance, including the General Social Care Council’s codes of practice?

* What other ways exist for increasing knowledge, developing skills and changing attitudes apart from one-day training courses? What responsibility do you have as a practitioner to engage with current debates and ensure your practice is up-to date?
