Introducing social care and social work

...system works. You’re always kind of thinking, is there more? Should I be doing more? Should I be doing something different? Is there some other service that I might be accessing?

This is partly an issue of terminology and becomes less problematic if we recognise that many aspects of marketing are useful and appropriate in not-for-profit contexts.
