In a single year, three percent of one social work agency's staff have attempted to sue it in employment tribunals. Figures about Alcohol Recovery Project, a government-funded social work agency working in inner London, were revealed in a freedom of information act request to the ministry of justice.
Dispite 3% of the hundred-strong staff team of Alcohol Recovery Project taking their former managers to employment tribunals in a single year, the agency continues to receive government funding and to be trusted with important work, offering self-help groups, counselling and dry housing to people trying to recover from alcohol-related problems.
The figures for the hundred strong staff team are
1996-2 Tribunal complaints against ARP
1997-0 Tribunal complaints against ARP
1998-0 Tribunal complaints against ARP
1999-0 Tribunal complaints against ARP
2000-0 Tribunal complaints against ARP
2001-0 Tribunal complaints against ARP
2002-0 Tribunal complaints against ARP
2003-1 Tribunal complaints against ARP
2004-0 Tribunal complaints against ARP
2005-1 Tribunal complaints against ARP
2006-3 Tribunal complaints against ARP
2007-1 Tribunal complaints against ARP

Dispite the news, recent web site references quote the same managers as head of alcohol services and chief executive - and the chief executive has been appointed to run a new merged organisation of ARP Rugby House.
The organisation is funded by Inner London health trusts - notably Lambeth Lewisham and Southwark, as well as the Housing Corporation and Futurebuilders.
