Call me niave but I think it depends on motivation to train/ work in this
field. I expect I can learn alot from the anti-social work perspective,
useful for critical analysis!

Better the devil you know.

Learning of potential pitfalls I would say is
very much part of the learning experience.
2 fundamental factors.
1/ You have to deal with people and some can
be extremely devious and remember SW managers
are people as well, so also can be devious.
2/ Act on evidence wherever possible from independent
sources , not testimony from directly involved parties
of either side in a dispute. And certaimnly don't
act on preconceptions and prejudices.

Yes it does. The problems tend to arise from those who believe that the
end justifies the means, and that mistakes are better covered up.

Critical analysis? Far better to remember them when you are out dealing
with people who might share the same experiences and beliefs. People
are not projects or objects. They have feelings and tend to fight to
protect those they care about.

Take a look here:

The Real Picture of Social Services in the UK

and see how it compares with the theory.

Until recently SWs knew they could operate
incompetently, even corruptly. Knowing their legal
departments would threaten individuals and act to cover-up
and knowing newspapers would not print if matters
never reached court or tribunal.
There is a more level playing field these days.

What they aren't telling you about DNA profiles
and what Special Branch don't want you to know.
