The positive side of social work

Victoria Derbyshire | 09:32 UK time, Friday, 28 August 2009

Social work

Today: the positive work that social workers do. Many times on 5 live and across the ´óÏó´«Ã½ we've reported inevitably horrific stories of child neglect where social workers have found to be wanting. Today we're going to try and redress the balance. And, as you'd expect, your experiences are key: if you are a social worker, do tell us in broad terms about the kind of cases where you have made life better for someone. And if you or your family have been helped by a social worker again we're very keen to hear from you.

Plus what's the point of Megan's Law after all? It's the legislation in the States where people have access to information on paedophiles living in their local area. Philip Garrido's details are on the Megan's Law website - and no one knew he'd kidnapped an 11-year-old girl and kept her captive for 18 years.

Plus: banned from football for life, what does that actually mean? I could be banned from football for life and of course I woulnd't be able to get a season ticket for my club but I WOULD have been able to pitch up at West Ham on Tuesdat at 5pm and buy a ticket for that cup game against Millwall - and no one would know I wasn't supposed to be allowed in.
