Lots of us have political, religious, cultural and ethical dilemmas in our work. We don’t have the luxury of pick and choose social work. No social worker will be compelled to sit on a Tribunal if this becomes law. There are many many reasons to oppose this bill but forced Tribunal membership is a red herring. Personally I think doing what Sandy suggest is the best way to understand what is being proposed, the dangers on informed consent inherent in it and the various other I’ll thought through clauses.

I feel that the inclusion of Social Workers could only be a positive thing. I take on board the concerns of others and respect the views of those who would prefer not to participate. That said, as a long time qualified Social Worker, I can certainly look back at my younger self and confidently say I would not have felt prepared for such a role when I was younger.
I will watch developments with interest.

In reply to Tiggi Watts.

I second your concerns.

I do not agree with this bill; it goes against my personal, spiritual and religious beliefs and I could not in good conscience have any part of this.

I would vociferously refuse to take part in this on every level.

Social workers would do themselves a massive favour by following the Commons Committee scrutiny of this bill. They’d be surprised at what drives the bill and might even get to understand that BASW and APCSW neither represents the nor the public.

If the social worker on the panel doesn’t get to meet the person, they aren’t doing social work and I’ve no idea what they’d be practicing or making any assurances of on the panel.

In my experience judges(retirement notwithstanding) take social worker advice as suggestions rather than recommendations. The social work role on this panel is at risk of becoming a fig leaf for a rather abstract decision making process. If the social worker and the judges views are divergent who would have the whip hand?

Given my experience of MHRT processes I have no real confidence that this proposal would safeguard let alone determine that the decisions presented to it by doctors were sound and complied with best interest criteria. How is coercion to be determined or discounted if the panel “may” meet with the person concerned? How is what will inevitably quickly become a paper review consistent with an “holistic approach”? How will capacity be safely and indeed competently be determined by a panel that hasn’t met the person but is ‘persuaded’ of capacity and lack of coercion by medical opinion alone? Bureaucratisation of death may appeal to the likes BASW well used to self delusion about how best to practice social work but isn’t welcomed by me.
