Abstract
Through a case study of a London borough’s children’s social services department
(CSD), this article highlights themes concerning the reorganization of children’s
social care provision. Reorganizations have been driven in part by tensions
between the desire of social work professionals to maintain their autonomous
modes of working, versus an increasingly managerialist outlook of more recent
government initiatives. The acceptance and incorporation of managerialist ideals
into working practices may be driven by a climate of greater risk aversion, leading
to creeping risk management across CSDs.
