Never knew I was the wrong kind of black man to really understand racism, never knew I was so unconscious of my conscious bias. Thanks for the education Barbara Seagull. Sour grapes? Not likely. BASW member led? Beg to differ. Bureaucrats talking to like minded folk? Certainly. Right wing heartless government: most definitely. Good percentage of social workers voted Conservative? Statistically very likely. BASW boasting about regularly meeting with and helping shape SWE policy is part of their claim to be the “voice” of social workers. Trust their word, don’t blame me for the repeat. Conspiracy theory that BASW is an Establishment embedded funnel? Very much not akin to 5G Covid-19 delusion. You just need to listen and read what BASW claim for themselves. I would be happy to be reminded of what BASW has done for social workers in the past 12 months. Me? I still see is the same victimisation of black and brown social workers. The same group of workers who are still disproportionately disciplined, subjected to Fitness to Practice bullying, denied training and promotion, victimised and belittled daily. That’s not my definition of improving our experience of racism in social work. More than any of this do tell me what BASW did when social workers of colour informed them of being denied PPE? That matters doesn’t it? So regard me as deluded, full of hogwash and an old fashioned racist if, not fawning at BASW, upsets so much. Personally, I am more distressed by the referencing of whips in a discussion about racism. Actually I find it abhorrent. As a black social worker, I am more bothered that a mainly white led organisation like BASW inspires such confidence from anti-racists just because they claim to be that themselves. You educated this black social worker of his internalised racism Barbara Seagull, now educate me about the anti-racist achievements of BASW. But do remember that what Wayne Reid is valiantly trying to achieve does not count for for BASW given that his views are not necessarily owned by his employer. His words not mine.

BASW were a cover for the GSCC? BASW are a cover for SWE?!! I’ve not heard anything so deluded since the 5G COVID-19 conspiracy theory!!

This discussion has quickly descended into a ‘BASW whipping party’, but let’s just remind ourselves that what BASW have done for anti-racism in the past 12 months (for social work) is more than what SWE, ADCS, ADASS etc could do in 10 years with infinite budgets and an army of EDI leads!!

BASW are not perfect at all, but surely a member-led social work professional body is a better mouthpiece for the profession, than puppets of a authoritarian, right-wing and heartless Government (SWE, ADCS, ADASS) etc!!

The criticism of BASW on anti-racism is just hogwash, sour grapes and conscious bias (aka old-fashioned racism!). Put your whips away!!

BASW were a cover for GSCC before and are camouflage for SWE now. I don’t know why any social worker wastes their hard earned cash to become a member. Why would I take an organisation that is just a stepping stone for career advancement for a few self selecting bureaucrats seriously? Just let them spout whatever nonsense they convince themselves matter to bread and butter social workers. Ignore them given they are an irrelevance without influence and enhance your mental health in the process.

In reply to James Horner. Nice try James but really it is a bit odd having highlighted potentially life threatening management practices not to expect us to want to know what BASW did to protect these colleagues. Surely BASW would not be breaching our confidentiality if they told us they approached those employers discriminating against black social workers and reporting on the response they got. In my mind their silence on this indicates that BASW did not act on this. That is not only shameful but is a failure of leadership and racist in itself. If BASW is just another organisation of bureaucrats wasting our subs on pointless internal debates, than they need to shut up about leading us.

It was BASW who highlighted that white managers had witheld PPE from black social workers not ADASS, ACDS or SWE. Having done so publicly I think it’s incumbent on them to tell us what action they took. Explaining in broad terms that they held such managers/employers to account does not breach anyones confidentiality. BASW keep telling us how they are combating racist managers and others when their members report racist behaviour so why is that not a breach of confidentiality but this would be James? Taking action to protect social workers is the ultimate definition of leadership isn’t it? Taking action to ensure black social workers have their health and safety paramount in white managers behaviour is promoting anti-racist practice is it not? I don’t expect semi-detached organisations like ADASS and ADCS and a regulator like SWE to lead us in anti-racist activism but I do expect that from BASW. After all BASW never miss an opportunity to tell us they are the professional voice of social workers. Or should I just ignore their claim to being a powerful voice and influence?

Just quietly and without fuss stopped being a BASW member. BASW cannot be my voice if it refuse to tell us what action they took to protect black social workers when they were willfully put in life threatening danger. For me, this issue will not go away however much BASW dodges a response.

Can you explain how that even relates to leadership Toni? Other than dealing with individual matters confidentially and privately what else do you expect to BASW do??! They have about 1/5 of social workers as members, so are not particularly influential.

You and other critics should be barking up the tree of ADASS, ACDS and SWE – they hold the real power and influence and have been excruciatingly silent on anti-racism.

And it’s clear BASW can not or will not engage in a response to being asked how they protected black social workers who were denied PPE by their white managers. How is that leadership?

Personal choices are ones we make about our reproductive rights, terminating a pregnancy and such like. In a pandemic the decisions we have to make are not personal, they are about us being part of the collective responsibility which is the only way to contain deadly illnesses. If being an individual with total command over your life choices are so important to you don’t take a job where other people also matter.

People like me are not ok with this survey. Your question is better directed at Maris Stratulis from BASW who is ok with it though.
