Last Words

Social worker Clare Barker is wracked with relief when her most detested client dies. Stars Sally Phillips. From 2004.

The social worker is wracked with relief when her most detested client passes away.

Clare Barker the social worker who has all the right jargon but never a practical solution.

A control freak, Clare likes nothing better than interfering in other people's lives on both a professional and personal basis. Clare is in her 30s, white, middle class and heterosexual, all of which are occasional causes of discomfort to her.

Clare continually struggles to control both her professional and private life

In today's Big Society there are plenty of challenges out there for an involved, caring social worker. Or even Clare.
