Partnership ethics

April 19th, 2008 by Malcolm Payne


In the hiatus between events at Uncle Don’s 90th birthday party, another useful article from Ethics and Social Welfare http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/resw . This one asks whether we have got to the point that the New Labour obsession with partnership has made partnership between professions, organisations and patients/clients/users an ethical requirement. Can you organise partnership rationally, or is it a matter of making relationships work appropriately?
