Naming and shaming social workers helps no one

Naming and shaming social workers helps no one

Note: Sure it does.

Three social workers from North East Lincolnshire have been named and criticised by judge Simon Jack for their role in care proceedings. This was in line with the high court ruling from Sir James Munby that family courts should not prevent the naming of social workers, once care proceedings have concluded, unless there were compelling reasons to do so. Munby, president of the family division, has made his position clear on the need for open justice and transparency in the family court.
