Half of SWE Board members are not or have been Social Workers. No other professional regulator would let this number of non-registered professional staff background run their organisation. This is relevant at they have no experience of working in the field and the complexities involved. It is also reflected in how little we are heard nationally, either on media or in policy direction/support.
I am looking forward to leaving this profession I once loved due to political interference and lack of professional clarity and support from the very regulatory body which should provide confidence in our roles, not just happily take our money. SWE should stand up for us and get our voices heard – take a leaf out of NMC/GMC
Let alone knowing what it is like to have that level of pay (which is below comparable NHS staff earnings). Then to have such an increase in fees is frankly just not acceptable. This is what happened when the College of Social Work was formed -as a self-funded, non-tax payer subsidised organisation. That lasted a year!
At least my fee will not be renewed when I’ve left.

The next time I see the Health Secratary speaking at Westminster the following words need to come out of his mouth. ” I am ending Social Work England to enable more money be given to front line staff “. Perhaps this is wishful thinking but this agency must go in order to bring NHS and social servicies together under the umbrella of the Department of Health and Social Care

I have been a social worker for 28 years and I can only once remember a strike by workers or a work to rule. Social care survives off the manipulation of workers kindness towards children and families and total lack of support for staff ! Yet we remain steadfast in providing a service that does not support its staff , the pay which is poor comparable to other professions, large caseloads , a bullying culture , target driven and poor staff moral !
I have seen newly qualified employees come and go as they decide it’s not for them, it’s not what they signed up for ! It’s my time to leave now as much as I did enjoy my job at one point , too many goalposts are moving , too many staff on sick leave and the team having to cover their workload on top of your own ! The system is well and truly broken and will take a lot to fix it , this isn’t just about money it’s about managers who are employed to bully to meet targets rather than support the staff ! I can no longer voice my concerns without being tarnished as the trouble maker , so off I trot to pastures new , aka retirement and go stack shelves at a supermarket etc lol

The rise in fees is not fair as SWE really need to have a full and comprehensive review of the quality of services they provide. Lengthy and unnecessary timescales that add pressure and anxiety for SW. no accountability in what they offer is totally unacceptable
There is no framework they work in
A recent case I’ve been made aware of around a young woman who had 12 years of practice, exemplary record re-registering late due to being hospitalized due to pregnancy related illness which is a protected characteristic late last year – and to date after several email exchanges and the same information asked for on duplicate times queries around if she is fit to practice!!!!!! Now has had her job withdrawn due to not having registration and SWE not giving an indication of the timeframe she is pregnant!!!!! And has no income and is still no further on in getting this archaic administrative process sorted and her reregistration agreed
The additional stress and anxietyy this is causing is just awful and unnecessary
And to rub salt in wounds their response was here is a link about financial support UNBELIEVABLE and so insensitive
The inability to discuss issues with a person and only able to email is absolutely absurd and causes unnecessary delays
As a profession that advocates about quality communication and accessibility and accountability it baffles me that cases and delays like this are frequent and no accountability for SWE to respond
There should be no increase in fees but a fundamental review and improvement in the quality and timelinness of the services

I NEVER put my views on this forum however I have recently seen an increase in social workers leaving the profession. I have been qualified for 6 years and been offered a job in th charity sector. I am tempted to accept this because the stress is too much. I enjoy what i do, i see my CLA children within timescales, but the stress of this role is taking its toll on my health. My GP told me my blood pressure (which I never had before) is off the scales and have prescribed tablets for the first time in my life. Yet here am I asking for your views when I know im stating the bleeding obvious which is, do you think i should leave, heavy paycut but freedom

Social workers should have a say in decisions that affect their professional and financial well-being. Any fee increase must be justified with clear, transparent financial reasoning, showing exactly how the additional revenue will be used to benefit social workers and improve regulatory processes. Without this, the increase appears arbitrary and unfair.

Exactly, the root causes of “excessive caseloads, workplace stress and inadequate support” need to be addressed. Because of this consistent failure by my managers I left the profession
