I have worked with many SW’s who do not challenge parents, who do not carry out visits properly, and have no people skills.
Don’t put bad practitioners under the same umbrella, whether they have a degree or not.
I feel so strongly about this!!
We are bringing in two teams for cin cases to be held by people without degrees, but it doesn’t mean that they can’t do the job of protecting children.
If a SW has a lot of cases in court or on CP plans the cin cases tend to get left so it will relieve some pressure, but we also have to look at the lack of applicants (sw) for positions that are being advertised and why that is.

The Department for Education’s (DfE) revised version of Working Together to Safeguard Children has removed the previous requirement for child in need assessments and casework to be reserved for qualified social workers. Under the new policy, staff, including those outside of the local authority, will be able to take on the role, now termed ‘lead practitioner’, under the oversight of a social work qualified manager or practice supervisor. Child protection enquiries and casework will remain ring-fenced for social workers. Read more. […]

Even when they escalated they stayed with me. One time I was asked to remove because edt said they were busy and quite rude about it. Now as a senior manager in safeguarding who knows more I look after each level of staff to their competencies and keep with procedures, guidance and law.. I believe this practice to be dangerous.

I firmly believe that child in need work needs to be done by social workers but family support workers are skilled workers who make significant contributions to the support we provide to families. Your analogy is disrespectful.

…Yes, I think they get a few days training. Imagine their response if we asked them to be present/support with removing children..Oh and then driving for miles on end to place them? (All after a days work of course)?!

Answers on a postcard card please!

I know this has happened others. Am now asked for £200 to renew my registration. I shall not be doing this and shall enjoy an alternative working life! It’s redicilous they are trying to encourage people into the profession while making life difficult for those already within it!

Imagine my shock when i go to the childs bedroom to discover it completely bare with the exception of a urine soaked mattress, the child was 12yrs… social workers have more training, more understanding of what to fully assess for a child, he swiftly went to CP once i saw his room. If he stayed with school/family support ect he potentially would have continued to suffer significant harm. I am often dismayed at the understanding of school DSLO re safeguarding who do not even visit a childs home either!!!!

For years we have been shifting to a more Americam model, CP and care proceedings.

This is going to impact on SAFETY,QUALITY of practise and leave vulnerable children more at risk,costing the tax payer more in the long term.

Imagine going to see your doctor and be told the admin worker will be assessing you and prescribing medical care. Would you let them?
