Fight Them on the Beaches
Clare leads a seaside day trip for elderly estate residents, but it rapidly gets out of hand. Stars Sally Phillips. From 2016.
Clare is in charge of a day at the seaside for some elderly residents of the estate.
They turn out to be a bit more feisty than the Sparrowhawk team were expecting, which makes it tricky for Clare to impress her new student, Cilla.
Back at home, Brian is coaching Nali for a musical audition.
Sally Phillips is 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 thirties, white, middle class and heterosexual, all of which are occasional causes of discomfort to her.
Clare continues her struggle 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.
