“People respect being treated with respect”

Exactly right.

People will also always be far more inclined to respect honest, decent social workers who only act in a fair and legal way and understand that the welfare of the child in most cases, relies on them being kept with their own family and all support necessary to enable that should be offered.

A parent having their child removed (or threatened with) would be harrowing and the impact on the child a highly damaging experience affecting them for life, in the vast majority of cases. Many animals will fight to the death for their offspring, so for intelligent humans who are faced with this, or even with the stress of micro management of their family life or intolerance for atypical but perfectly valid lifestyles, will have some form of reaction.

Sarah James I am glad that you have had such positive experience and not been confronted with violence/ harassment/ abuse. However suggesting that these statistcs are wrong is dismissing the experiences that some of our colleagues have been confronted with. You also are on the verge of sounding judgemental as your statement appears to read that those social workers were incompetent in dealing with challenges. Victim blaming is not what social work values are based on.

My husband has been threatened with a machette, a gun and was locked in a room with an out of control person who smashed everything up whilst the prison officer went for support! He has had major time off work due to a really bad assault. It has affected him in every way.Our family life has been crap.We had to change out car due to his injuries. He no longer participates in family life much, needing the space away from our children. He has changed jobs as he was so frightened by entering the building where he was assualted. People say oh you must have had compensation.No nothing the LA denied any thing. The union didn’t think it worth the effort. If he had worked for another employer he would have had some compensation to help us with the cost of the extras we now need to deal with eg private therapy/ physio. It is a dangerous job if you deal with some people. I often wonder when i will get the phone call to say that’s it he’s in hospital again . My next thought i cant say but you can guess. So lucky you, if you haven’t had any client attacks but please ,dont denegrate those that have . It is not acceptable for any person to be attacked what ever their job. It is not acceptable or part of the social worker job to accept this.

I do not believe these statistics. I have been a front line social worker since 1997. I have been shouted at a few times, but nothing that really worried me..When I have been shouted at I have managed to diffuse the situation without a problem. People respect being treated with respect.

lengthy ,complicated safety policy if implemented would protect social workers but are often unworkable and bureaucratic. better are team action safety plans which identify specific local risks.
removing children, depriving liberty are high risk situations when aggression takes place even towards very experienced and senior staff if involved.
