I applaud your understanding and commitment to the LGBT community.
Your work speaks for itself.
Speak out Ms. Jackson, you can and will make a huge difference to the people you advocate for.

CoramBAAF have written a practice note on assessing and supporting transgender foster carers and adopters. That will be sent out to members in July.

Maybe the expectations of social workers to have knowledge of such a broad spectrum of issues covering arguably every known human condition and response known to man should be lowered. I can’t think of any other job where the expectation is so vast ‘jack of all trades master of none’ scenario continues !

Think there is very little on LGBT issues on training compared to other social differences anyway.
Perhaps because ideally we would like to assume we have equality and so it is generally accepted but sadly society is not there yet so I do think more on LGBT awareness would be good!

Perhaps it is helpful to point out that in that case ther was no transgender child, as the child was not expressing wishing to live with anoth r gender than the physical one they were born with.
That case is about a parent forcing to live their child as someone other than they were. Whilst I can see the confusion, this is not a transgender matter.
The difference matters greatly when considering the wellbeing of the child. In the one case living as another gender is abuse, whilst for transgender children not allowing such change could be highly damaging for the child.

I’d argue that the Judgement you refer to was an example of the widespread & institutionalised ignorance and transphobia present within the judiciary and exactly why social workers need to have an awareness of gender identity and trans issues. See for example this post which goes into some detail of the problems with the case: https://growinguptransgender.wordpress.com/2016/10/27/%EF%BB%BF10-reasons-why-the-dontjudgegender-verdict-makes-families-of-transgender-children-concerned/

It can be a complicated area evidenced by the judge who slammed social workers for accepting the gender that was ascribed to the child.

I am pleased to read this article as it highlights some of the fundamental social work practice issues linked to diversity and equality and the values and ethics of social work which we should adhere to as social work practitioners. I am a qualified social worker and experienced practice educator who has located to Jamaica where I am working with the LGBTQI population and have developed 3 safe houses in one of the Parishes. I am also advocating across the country for safe and equal services to be provided to this marginalized group. I am pleased that the UK as a first world country are now also bringing these issues to the forefront in the field of social work practice so that we can prepare our forth coming practitioners for the reality which faces our clients in society.
