Reading mental health inquiries: messages for social work

This article examines the findings of a series of mental health inquiry reports published in the UK during the 1990s and identifies implications for social workers operating in the field of mental health. These inquiry reports have been enormously influential in determining the shape of both services and new legislation. They have also delivered messages concerning practice both in terms of interprofessional communication and coordination and regarding direct work with service users. It is argued that social workers can use these inquiries to define their role more constructively and to distinguish their precise contribution to the network of mental health services. This may be particularly necessary at a time of major change.

Brings together a number of different accounts of institutional abuse from academics and researchers. Uses a life course perspective and looks at four areas: children, adults with learning difficulties, adults with mental health problems, and older people. Each section includes a critical overview, analysis of current research and a chapter reporting on users' experiences of abuse. Aims to develop an understanding of how institutional abuse can be prevented and survivors' needs can be met.

- Authors:
- MANTHORPE Jill, BRADLEY Greta
- Journal article citation:
- Breakthrough, 2(1), 1998, pp.35-43.
This article focuses on the issue of financial abuse, arguing that this has been comparatively neglected in work with users of mental health services. Using a case history approach it discusses the concept and definitions of financial abuse and the perspectives of practitioners working in community support services. Issues of gender and mental (in)capacity are raised and the discussion is placed in the context of current service organisations within the UK.
