Summary

Within British social work there is no model of good practice for working with lesbian clients. As a prelude to the establishment of such a model, this paper attempts to ascertain social workers' attitudes to lesbians using a thirty-item attitude (Likert) scale. The implications of social workers' attitudes for practice with lesbian clients are considered from responses to case vignettes.
