I think its important to acknowledge the role of a social worker.
How is it legally defined? supervisory or supportive?
If its the former then there could be conflicting approaches about issues such as interventions such as child protection measures

Hi, I’m a children’s practitioner of 20 years experience, and put myself on lots of training to keep up with changes in the service. I get so frustrated when people say that it would be dangerous for unqualified workers to carry out assessments etc, when I see lots of SW’s coming in with no experience, and some even on a power trip when they get the degree! We all know it’s different in the real world!!

I’m lucky in my team that we all work together and make use of the different skills we have, and it takes pressure of the SW’s.

Myself being an ex social work manager in a Youth Offending team, I fully endorse the above. I managed a team of 18 once, who were a mixture of Police, Probation, Drugs, Health and education workers. (Not forgetting qualified social workers) We were a pilot for referral orders, so together, with a volunteer organiser, I was better placed than most to compare the trust, and level of supervision necessary. After six months I trusted all of them. Yes there was a level of trust hierarchy, but that was not dictated by qualification. In some cases, looking at other teams within, too much trust was placed in the CQSW.

In reply to J Wiggins.

Great response! I was trying to think of how I could convey the same message …so in effect, if more people are ‘on the ground’ offering ‘early help’ at a reduced cost to services then this is positive. It supports the early help notion by allowing families the opportunity to ask for support instead of being stigmatised and blamed and risking having their children taken away. One of the main problems in s.17 is that, aside from being voluntary (not gonna delve too much into that voluntary aspect) it automatically causes issues due to the nature of the investigation. It needs to be inquisitorial allowing for families to seek help begore beibg condemned. Case law even suggests that just because someone has a drink or drug problem doesn’t exclude them from trying to be a good parent…with the appropriate support .. and which should be available without judgment.

I am a manager in an early help team where we work with cases that are often child in need in other authorities. I have learned that alternatively qualified staff are able to write high quality assessments with complex families. Training, induction, social work oversight and an unwavering focus on quality enable this. Many of my staff have been highly qualified in other fields – IDVAs, family therapy, masters in psychology for example

Why link assessments to risk ? Most families want help with their challenging circumstances with only a small minority requiring an investigation. If non qualified colleagues can form helping relationships ( which I’m sure they can) – this new model moves us on from families experiencing 3 or 4 social workers every 18 months created by the ‘churn’ in qualified / agency social workers which undermines trust, confidence and family led support. I’m all in favour !
