Checks and unbalances
The centralised social care register is not as benign as it might seem.
GSCC's code of practice for social care workers and not require them to
do anything that would put their compliance with that code at risk". The
social worker, meanwhile, is informed in their code of practice of their
duty to promote "equal opportunities for service users and carers".
There is widespread discrimination faced by asylum seekers in trying to
access social services, a situation so bad that it prompted one court of
appeal judge to lambast Leicester city council's policies towards asylum
seekers as tantamount to starving immigrants out of the country by
withholding last resort assistance.

[07] Asylum, Moral Maze, The point is to win
----------

Many persuasive arguments are false, and many sound arguments
unpersuasive.
With these thoughts in mind I tuned into the latest edition of Radio
Four’s The Moral Maze on asylum. One of the guests was Kate Adie, who
chaired a Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust enquiry into destitution in
which I was involved.
