[…] The same is true for Social Work England, as they too face government funding pressures. […]

Perhaps SWE should investigate this and thereby itself for not keeping to timescales. Its websites did say that investigations should take around 6 months

Indeed.

SWE are claiming inadequate resources related to insufficient budgets. Social Workers have been saying exactly the same for years impacting upon their ability to do their job effectively. They have been ignored

Can you imagine the outcry if it took social workers 2-8 years to complete an assessment!

In reply to Alastair Gibbons. Well said Alistair. I also wonder about the need for a route to recourse - compensation. Hemorrhaging money on public services and supporting the workforce as opposed to spanking it on cheese and wine and dodgy procurement contracts seems to be the only concern the government has. No regard for social workers welfare, health, or safety

As previously stated it was 12 months before SWE informed me of a complaint and then a further year and 7 months for SWE to conclude NFA and no impairment as to my social work practice.

Thankyou to Community Care for shining a light on this.

Social Work England routinely taking over two years to conclude investigations is not good enough. Not good for the social worker who has this hanging over them. Also makes a mockery of the person complaining i.e. how seriously are you taking my complaint if it takes you over two years to bring it to a conclusion?

They need to do better. Six months to investigate and conclude should be more than enough time. I hope to push through my trade union a ‘6 Months is Plenty’ campaign.

In reply to Johnny.

The job of CC journalists is to report and hopefully reflect the diversity of opinion on stories. I wouldn’t expect them to be advocates. I expect ADASS and ADCS to be the champions of the profession and being critical when it’s being damaged. Their silence is ample evidence that they are too close to SWE to criticise obvious failings. I would expect BASW to have a critical distance from SWE also but it seems cosying up overrides representing their members interests. I know of a BASW member who sought advice from BASW when they were subject to FtP who got short shrift and the SWU was “unable” to get involved. Our organisations are a cabal really. There is no independence, there is no inclination to be ‘controversial’ and all are agenda driven so not really geared to respond to our practitioner concerns effectively. BASW included they are great at developing policies and talking up a report. That’s all. So I don’t expect CC to be “the voice of social work”. I expect our Leaders to be that. What I expect from CC is accurate reporting of these stories. For me Community Care journalists do that admirably.

It does not look good for SWE. It seems to me that there is clearly a lack of confidence in SWE

What I find very curious is the that the Professional Standards Authority are consulting on new guidance to support the other regulated professions rolling out the unique SWE accepted outcomes case examiner process, seemingly on the basis it offers flexibility and speeds things up and decreases delay .
Also There’s a lengthy process of referral, triage ,investigation before you get to the 2 year minimum wait for a hearing . Potentially 4 to 5years in the this stigmatising process is unacceptable .
SWE surely have to explain how this delay protects the public and ensures a just and timely intervention to registrants and witnesses.

My money is on SWE having to hike the cost of registration to bring in revenue to cover costly adversarial litigations and compensation for failure .
