Abstract

A largely false image of social workers has been created by the media reporting of child abuse cases, according to Ivor Gaber, professor of media and politics at the University of Bedfordshire. Help may be at hand, however. A government-funded College of Social Work, which aims to be a first point of contact for journalists, is being set up later this year.
