Sorry. You should not have to be doing this. Really very, very poor management support. It is not healthy for you and thereby not healthy for those that you are charged with caring for. I have a view that if managers are not able to care for their staff then I question their values regarding their caring ability

That’s on a good day…. Mine always means, no time for lunch break, often trying to continue a TEAMS call while trying to make a sandwich and eat it off camera if I’m lucky if not grab biscuits. Laptop always on till about 11pm with an hour -2 break to cook tea and if lucky watch corrination street. Start at 7:30-8 am and no day time to write up that’s why computer all evening….

Too many tasks to complete and insufficient time during contracted hours. Hence SWs are forced to work extrs hours to try to keep on top of things and records up to date. Should you not do this then you do not endear yourself to managers who are under pressure to address targets to satisfy Ofsted

That is so true. Now working weekends is becoming increasingly more of a norm to get the work done. There is also the name and shame culture, if all vists , core group etc is not all completed in timescale.

Agree totally, Sandra. This leads to Local Authority managers using capability procedures, when the reality is that they do not allow Social Workers sufficient time to do their job effectively. Managers need to reflect on their actions/inactions

Too many tasks and not not enough time to address these unless you work excessive hours, ie on goodwill basis that is not appreciated

Agree it’s not about lack of organisational skills. It’s more to do with far too many tasks to do within unrealistic timescales set by managers. There are not enough bodies on the front line, end of. This also applies to every public service, and Children’s Services managers are fearful about making decisions as to priorities. As you say they exploit Social Workers by relying on goodwill working, to the detriment of Social Workers themselves

You’re right, Sandra. Part of the blaming is being subject to the capability process as a way of bullying SWs to do more and more. After twelve years of working as a permanent children’s SW for a Local Authority with no issues whatsoever, this is what happened to me when I began to say enough is enough. I resigned and that particular authority lost an experienced and obviously competent SW

That all of the contributors highlight the toxicity that forces social workers to do longer hours than contracted for free, says all that needs to be said about the pretence of so called “reflected practice” promoted in the Pollyanna world of SWE and BASW. Not one comment on the decisions being made, clearly on the hoof by necessity, and whether they address the issues, behaviours, parenting, placements being worked with. Abusive dad? Yes but let’s look at positive contact by him with the clearly frightened child. Could be right or the wrong approach but social workers are so near to burn out that the take away from a day in the life is the working hours. I admire my colleagues but I also despair that we’d rather burn out than tackle our managers and employers about how much we are exploited and taken for granted. Do the work, do more of the work, do them again and more the next day and all the days after is the pattern that however empathetic a manager or supervisor might be is left to fester to the detriment of practitioners.

In reply to David.

Absolutely….the system works because of the goodwill and passion of social workers.
This is not however recognised leading to social workers being blamed for the lack of organisational skills.
