Says an awful lot that one of MacAlister’s key recommendations isn’t being implemented and very ironic given he says the government must go harder and faster on reform in the article below this one.

Social Workers and Directors should be incandescent about him and his review. He is part of the neo-liberal economic philosophy underpinning this government.

The whole thing is a huge con-trick to roll back state involvement and to use social care staff to facilitate that process.

IROs also identify good practice – it’s not always pointing out the flaws.
The Care Review ignored the positives identified in the limited research and relevant court judgements; very much a ‘pick and choose’ approach.
Being old enough to remember a time before IROs, I vividly remember the review where a manager chairing, simply just said ‘no’ to a foster carer over a simple question; they minimised the view and voice just because they had made the decision in the first place. No debate, no reflection, just ‘no’. I was the social worker! The manager was not a bad manager, just a busy one.

I was an IRO and CP conference chair for 13 years until I retired in 2015
In my experience the IRO role scrutinises Management decisions as much as social work practice as social workers often have to battle for their care plans for young people In this regard I think the role needs to be strengthened to make sure the IRO view has to be considered
Being in the LA but independent of any case management is a unique and valuable position
IRO’s -sadly in some ways- are sometimes the professional who knows the yp best where there are staff shortages or re organisations
Young people, when they understand the role – in my experience- appreciate the independence of the IRO and can often build trusting relationships with their IRO
