Social Care News: Documentary - Bristol aims to give workers a voice

Bristol's children's social services chief hopes a new documentary tracking the city's childcare social workers will change public perceptions of the profession.

Annie Hudson said Someone to Watch Over Me "conveys in a very sensitive way the complexity of what the work is about".

The six-part series tackles issues such as the suspicious death of a baby and drug misuse, and follows social workers including Leroy Henderson, who tries to engage with Nadia, a 14-year-old suspected drug user (see Interview, p13).

Series producer Sarah Johnson said: "If you care about children you have got to care about social workers. If you look at other professions like the police, fire service, teachers and nurses, their image is better. The aim of this programme is to give social workers a voice in the media."
