In reply to Hayley Millington. Totally agree Hayley, how many times are organisations with some semblance of authority going to keep doing surveys? I guess it convinces them that they are taking action - absolutely farcical.

We need a restorative culture in social work that reflects the values of the profession. Where mistakes are made recognition, redress and learning from the harms caused should be the goal. At the moment we have a legalistic, medicalised discriminatory system which seeks to aportion blame rather than improve the profession. Shame on the architects of this system which is just serving to replicate the GMC and other institutions which do nothing for the wellbeing of the sector.

In reply to Jez Hixon. Exactly Jez - subdue AND privatise social work.

The FTP process is completely flawed. People who sit on panels are all white middle class who have very little sympathy or empathy, prejudiced and do not seem to have a clue about cultural sensitivity. You are guilty before judgement as a black person. Do not make any mistakes in social work if you are black folks. What your white colleagues will get a warning for, you will get suspended or struck off if you are black, even when they did worse. Check the records… yes!!! Ironic in a profession that preaches anti racism, anti discrimination, anti this, anti that anti….. In fact, it is laughable.

SWE are the perfect reflection of our exploitative and hostile government. Their systems are working great to suit the government agenda – to subdue social work.

I am not encouraged by what I am reading as a prospective social worker. This is a profession where we are taught about empathy, however, subjecting people to a fitness to practice exercise for two years does not seem empathetic to the social worker in question? Are we not human too?

It’s immediately obvious looking at the FtP lists on the website the hugely disproportionate numbers of names of African & Asian heritage. Really disturbing! Although sadly replicating patterns across the board in mental health, policing, sentencing etc. The changes need to be made at the frontline as well as SWE structures & processes, why are disproportionate numbers of people of colour/older workers being referred in the first place?

I’m a black female with years of work experience as a SW & BIA currently undergoing ftps investigation and I must confess that I have been mentally damaged by the impact of the report, investigation and lack of genuine support for me. I am doubtful if ill survive the fearful experience. I went into the profession to help Improve the lives of disadvantaged people. I am a dedicated worker who have worked so hard and helped improved the lives of people and im proud of this cause I used to enjoy my job. However, the systems, injustices, inequality and the unfair treatments that I have witnessed and endured throughout my career has caused me not to renew my registration this year. I will definitely share my real life experiences after Ieaving the profession so that any black SWs considering the profession can think, weigh up the benefits and burdens of the profession before committing to such a high risk job that could caused a long lasting detrimental on their lives.

“We haven’t been able to get underneath the cause as yet…” Erm, it’s called institutional racism (and discrimination) Colum – that is the starting point! Stop the stalling tactics.

“We’ll certainly do what we can..” Unconvincing and seemingly uninterested. What have you/SWE done in the last 3 years? Lots of “evidence gathering”, bugger all action!

“It’s everybody’s responsibility.” Actually, no it’s not. Tackling institutional racism (and discrimination) is surely a key role for the social work regulator. Do what we pay you (twice) for!

i recently come from Africa to work as a social worker in the UK. I tick all the boxes, black, male and over 40. I want to say definitely this is true. First within my first month my manager a white female told me about it during supervision as a pass on comment. I can say for the past 7 months I have faced hell on earth. Being sidelined, reports being over-scrutinized, not being allocated cases for some time, being told ‘you are not confident enough’ we do not think you will be able to ask deeper questions, probation extension after extension, I have been accused of everything. it’s like flowing against the tide. I have just accepted that it is tough to be a black, male over 40 social worker in the UK.
