No more the of old care and compassion which is now perceived as getting in the way of targets and budget calculations. In contemporary social work infested with MBA learnt zealotry about “value for money”, “strong leadership values’, “shaping the team”, “focusing on goals”, “vision”, “meeting organisational priorities “and the rest the priority is always what the organisation demands. This is why if a social worker is misguided enough to stray into framing their thinking on professional values they risk being seen as not performing well and worse as not being a “team player”.

Our ‘Leaders’ should hang their heads in shame at the reality of our interactions with our supervisors. Dread and terror are not exaggerations any longer but our daily experience. It wasn’t always like this as Professor Brandon describes too and my own experience of increasing demoralisation since qualifying in 1984 shows.

Thank you Community Care and Professor Brandon. That said I think it is still underestimated how frightened most social workers are of “getting it wrong”. That’s not just about doubting our skills but about how fear now seems to be a tool of management and general social worker leaders. Fear if we’ll still have jobs when “efficiency” is the buzzword and increasingly AI chipping away at our autonomy for supposedly more informed decision making, fear that at any moment we can be referred to SWE for FtP investigations that can drag on for years, fear of bullying, fear of raising issues having seen colleagues victimised for doing so and our generalised anxiety that our managers far from being supportive are motivated to show how “tough” they are by pointing fingers at our supposed failings. Fear and anxiety permeate the thinking of most social workers I know. It used to be even in my relatively short career that if your supervisor saw you were upset or walked past your car and saw you crying they would stop and show compassion. I wouldn’t dare display vulnerability for fear of being labelled weak and not coping. When did it become ingrained in managers to respond to us with “social work isn’t for everyone” rather than helping us navigate the difficulties in our work? Anyway thank you for this.
