In reply to Social worker. Wow, it’s very sad to your story… sounds like some LAs lacks integrity. I’ve raised concerns with DfE in a focus group about taking a deep look at the leadership because sometime it ain’t the frontline needing fixing but rather the leadership it self needs measured reflection.

[…] Chief social worker Isabelle Trowler says action needed to tackle drop-off in representation of staff from minority groups at senior level in children’s services, whose staffing remains ‘very white’. The representation of Black social workers in the children’s services workforce in English councils halves between the front line and management, Department for Education (DfE) data has shown. There is also a drop-off in the proportion of Asian practitioners and those from mixed or multiple ethnic groups at senior levels, compared with the front line, according to the figures, which date from September 2024. By contrast, the proportion of white social workers increases with seniority, revealed the data, which has been published on the DfE’s children’s social care dashboard. Read more. […]

In reply to Basil. If the data presented here is correct than the march isn't in the direction you suggest. As for promotion or appointment being made on the basis of ideology rather than merit I suggest that merit plays little to no part and more importantly has rarely been the main consideration. I have been approached several times to "apply" for posts above my grade with the slight wink that the outcome is already in my favour. I have declined each time not because I'm virtuous but because I rather witness corruption from the outside than be a part of perpetuating it. Every social worker will have stories about inappropriate appointments and promotions and croynism.

This society cannot have have a proper debate about whether there is value in positive discrimination. It has gone too far in some LAs where excellent staff are systematically not getting senior jobs if they are not from a BAME background. I have seen services going from bad to worse because colour was privileged over skills at appointment stage. As a locum, if I don’t like it, I move on. But since there are no real metrics to measure one’s performance, the equality/inclusion agenda is marching blindly, regardless of the impact on the service.

In reply to Claire L. Maybe she thinks she’s found a stepping stone to credibility…

Would Isabelle Trowler ever describe services as “very very black?” I think not, and if not, why is she using it to describe this service, and implying that there is something inherently wrong with white people working at a senior level. I’m afraid she lost the argument for me when she used this description. Has DEI infiltrated social work, and if so, the sooner we get rid of it, the better. Discrimination is discrimination whether it’s positive or negative, and has no place in social work or our wider society. The sooner Isabelle Trowler realises that, the better.

Only a manager who values the efforts of individual social workers over “service” and “production” gets my attention. That’s more important to me than a head count of ‘ethnicities’.

Nothing can ever change if everything that doesn’t conform to one’s own “lived experience” is attacked with cynicism and disdain. Whatever some might convince themselves to be otherwise objective truths exist. Senior and executive management is a closed shop only occasionally pulled ajar to admit like-minded affirmers. That is as much a reason for it’s whiteness as is conscious racism. Being a “person of colour”, a term I despise for stripping me of my blackness, isn’t an automatic signal of an empathetic person relentlessly pursuing equality and justice. Ideology is what matters, political committment is what matters, strength to acknowledge weakness is what matters. I’ve had brilliant white managers and appallingly authoritarian and vindictive black supervisors. Less identity hierichies and more solidarity is what I value. Social work is on a death march which no amount of black or asian careerists can rescue it from. One of the most staunch champions of SWE I know is a black manager. Make of that what you will. Time all of us reclaimed our power rather than invest our expectation on elitist Empire medal chasers.

Very true. Let focus on our young children and lovely family and our reward will be paid from heaven.
