Can I be honest with you?

Andy McClenaghan is joined by Martin Sexton, Chair of the British Association of Social Workers Policy Ethics and Human Rights Committee and Carolyn Ewart National Director of BASW Northern Ireland to discuss Duty of Candour. They consider the proposal to introduce, in Northern Ireland, a Statutory Duty of Candour, at the organisational and individual levels—including criminal sanctions for breach of the Duty. The conversation highlights major implications for social workers in Northern Ireland which could set a precedent for other UK regions.To read and respond to the consultation proposals, visit https://www.health-ni.gov.uk/consultations/duty-of-candour.For BASW NI’s response to the consultation, visit bit.ly/2SNl6qO.
