Abstract

Under the 'Community Care' legislation inspection units will be set up by each local authority. The inspectors will be responsible for quality assurance in both local authority and independent residential units. This paper examines some of the difficulties that face inspectors from a social work values perspective. Three major aspects are considered; firstly the notion of social work values themselves, secondly problems that arise for inspectors in making judgements, thirdly an approach for inspectors making judgements is outlined.
