The Curious Case of Co-Work in Family Court WelfareCo-working, in its various forms, has been a feature of family court welfare work for many years. However, it has never become universally accepted by practitioners (or endorsed by their managers), as has been the case in group work and work with sex offenders. From his previous experience as a Senior Family Court Welfare Officer in Humberside and latterly as a trainer with the National Induction Programme, Brian Cantwell proposes that a firmer and more articulate commitment to the shared work ethic is needed if family court welfare practice is to develop, flourish and perhaps also compete successfully, in the belief that a culture of collective responsibility will become increasingly important in maintaining staff skill and confidence.
