In reply to Loretta. If your social workers are bathing, preparing meals, feeding, cleaning, shopping and dispensing medication I applaud you. If your social workers ate popping in to say hello are you OK and then getting on their way than that's not exactly personal care is it? In my authority we face censure if we attempt anything other than shopping because apparently "we" are not insured to do personal care. Genuinely interested in a response.

In reply to Alison Tucker. Unfortunately due to the severe shortage in social care staff, We do have several incidents where registered social workers are having to be deployed to provide personal care to people. My teams have done this without question because they strive to keep people safe and ensure that they are able to have their basic needs met

Now that Omicron related staff absences have turned out not to be as overwhelming as predicted and mandatory vaccination policy is being ditched, are we to look forward to a new “exhaustion” narrative? BASW, UNISON, Social Workers Union, Chiefs, anyone? Give us hope that we are getting something for our subs.

I suspect the acronym will be lost in the endlessly woe is me narrative though Percy Hotspur.

Rachael Wardell, chair of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services’ workforce development policy committee, would like us to believe that, Overall, children’s social work teams were experiencing “fairly usual workforce pressures for this time of year.”

Rach, are you sure about that!

We are living in unprecedented times with social care practitioners bearing the brunt of global PTSD and all that this brings to safeguarding! Increased sickness, caseloads, and staff shortages are having a significant impact the likes we have NEVER seen, and the wellbeing of its dedicated workforce (many of whom have little left to give whether working from home or not) is flatlining!

Rach, I’m not sure where you are getting your intel. Do your due diligence. Get out there and actually talk to practitioners. I doubt they’d say they are all experiencing “fairly usual workforce pressures for this time of year!”

Social workers have a unique form of exhaustion brought on by pointless bureaucratic brain scrambles and the endless nonsense spouted by supposed management and ‘professional” leaders. It’s a social work only recognised syndrome: Tired All The Time.

Answer this BASW and Unison: why are you colluding with employers to blame the pandemic for our exhaustion? We have had years of our bosses enthusiastically implementing cuts and maintaining vacancies. We’ve been bullied and threatened with disciplinaries, suspensions and the sack for whistleblowing. Omicron is not year zero. Sacrifice your seat on the far end of the top table for once and put the pressures we face in an honest context. Our bosses shouldn’t be your bosses too.

Social workers and their ‘leaders’ need to check their privileges before grabbing the coat tails of minimum wage workers to bleat on about “exhaustion”. And yes some social workers are leaving because of extra assessment demands.
I am one if them. My reason? I cannot reconcile my personal and professional ethics with my authority instructing us to do telephone assessments of people we’ve never met. That’s not exhaustion, that’s disgust at all the team leaders, managers, PSWs, education leads and sundry policy staff still working from home who are apparently too ‘indispensable’ in their substantive posts to chip in. Better to leave before a new wave of nausea that the inevitable congratulations for “our” all hands on deck response hypocrisy e-mails ping in. BASW, UNISON ADASS, ADCS don’t represent me. It’s their constant crass responses that exhaust me not the extra work I have to do to make a tiny dent in ameloirating the ‘challenges’ people on low pay and benefits have to navigate daily. No MBE for me thank god.

Maybe its not a competition of praise and weve all worked hard in different ways. The amount of pressure and mental stress and exhaustion many of us social workers have been through over the past few years, and before that. Its completely valid. That mental stress also tends to contribute towards physical ill health. The amount of sleepless nights, extra unpaid hours, worry about service users an caseload.

Are Registeted Social Workers preparing meals for adults needing care? Are they bathing people? Are they changing incontinence pads? Toileting people? Running a vacuum cleaner in between giving out medication? If yes they are “exhausted”. I suspect though filling in a pro forma “assessment” form probably from a telephone “interview” is a tad different in the tired all the time race. Our job is difficult but we don’t need to trample on the realities of our social care colleagues to get to the head of the praise us que.
