Dear Matt, I agree with you social workers are skilled professionals who have a great deal of responsibility to ensure (all )children are protected, you are continuously having to update your practice, knowledge, skills, and understanding because you are dealing with complex issues within society. You are required to keep up to date with current reach and the legal aspects of care proceedings.

Your degree/master’s is not given to you, you have to work for it.

Perhaps the focus should be on leadership, attitudes, and professionalism which no longer appear to be a priority these days. If a senior practitioner can attend a team meeting dressed in their dressing gown ask yourself if this is the leadership you consider appropriate. Those social workers working in the field and who are committed work extremely hard without little regard.

Some questionable managers worryingly have a great deal of power over the workforce and are not challenged.

I speak from experience.

Dear Robert, I could not agree with you more. What appears forgotten is the fact we are working with humanity and children who may have experienced trauma in their lives.

I have to agree with you Pauline, i have been a social worker on the front line for 14 years but have seen how people want to progrees and stop at nothing to do so. Despite their lack of experience. Senior managers however allow this because faces fit, not because of the persons experience and ability.. Mangers are are also bothered more with timescales shaming social workers by sending out their stats. I don’t know what they think this will achieve, we all know who we have and haven’t visited or the meetings we haven’t typed up because of time constraints.
I think its also the bullying blaming culture in local authorities that makes social workers feel they have to cover their backs. It certainly isn’t the caring profession it’s meant to be.
The government needs to look at society and what is impacting it and provide us with the tools and resources to deal with it. We also need strong managers that can provide us with guidance and support rather than blame and bully. Society has evolved social work has not its time to rectify this so that we can do our jobs properly and not feel that the profession we love is no longer what we need and leave the profession. Social work is a calling it isn’t just a job as some of the newly qualified workers I have seen coming through think. I worry about the next generation of social workers who have little care or compassion and do as little as possible. I’m not saying this is all AYSEs but there are an alarming amount who are.

In my opinion over the last 5/10 years, the drive has been on who can reach senior positions and not about learning the profession and complexity required for the role. Managers/senior practitioners have been employed who may only have a few years of experience, they may not have the skills, knowledge, life experience, commitment, or ability to lead a team that can make well-informed decisions. In my view, they have not reached a level where they are confident with their leadership ability, this area also needs addressing if things are to change as this leaves social workers stressed, easy targets, with no direction or strong leadership, and no thought is made by managers about whether the timescales set are achievable, perhaps managers should be asking senior managers why this is happening if they want to support their team of social workers. It is no wonder there is a high turnover in the workforce. My views are based on my experience and observation having practiced as a child protection social worker for 43+ years. The work we undertake is important therefore realistic timescales should be a priority for appropriate case recording, analysis, case discussions with other professionals, and time to complete well-informed direct work with the child that catches the child’s views and wishes so that appropriate and relevant case plans are put in place which will protect and support the child.

Vegito I agree with you, over the years services in the care sector have been neglected, and more and more children and parents are suffering from mental health issues that are not being addressed. It is correct children and adolescents are affected and not being safeguarded with the current child protection plans. There are various reasons for this. Cases have always been complex as there is rarely one risk factor to a case.

Whether it is COVID lack of investment, or Brexit society is changing therefore change needs to take place within local authorities across the board. I have noticed some vulnerable families are being bullied into criminal activity which impacts children.

In my experience there has been an increased focus on safeguarding contextual risks in the community. These issues are linked with the children’s home life, and wider issues of public service cuts. I also think such research highlights the complexities and challenges of social work. I feel that this work is some of the most skilled and important in society, despite what the media says (or doesn’t say) about it.

It is unsurprising that the research data coincides with the period of which the Tory Government has been in place, the cuts to public services, brexit, covid and the cost of living has put severe pressures on society, which is impacting ultimately on children and families it is not rocket science, if the government is stripping support and services at points when they are clearly needed it is no wonder we are observing increased complexity and raises in the number of case loads it is simple people are not coping.

The fact the DfE are woefully short on the recommended budget for their new proposed reforms is not a shock either, on paper it sounds good however when it comes to putting their hand in their pockets they are not so quick to do that, so it is likely these reforms may ease some initial issues re case loads and re referrals however without the proper financial backing it will fail.

It took research to work this out??. Any SW will understand. For many years
As long comes CC…and it’s real?? .maybe that is part of the problem.
