Having 11 years experience in front line child safeguarding working for many different local authorities (more than 7) in the north of England. I have never felt so disheartened and hurt as I do right now. Having experienced racism and also nepotism which has repeatedly stunted growth and development and having seen institutional racism and bullying in every local authority yet also currently seeing very little change on the front line in terms of leadership positions/viewpoints around racism makes me have very little hope. The job is very difficult without racism. However racism has meant in my eleven hard working years of working on the front line I have NEVER promoted my job to anyone of colour who has asked me of social work as a vocation. In fact I have actively discouraged everyone and anyone with passion, drive, intelligence, love for wanting to make a difference to choose another vocation all together. Let that sink in when u consider your employment campaigns and student campaigns. The community care articles and SWE stance in racism are positive to read but I want to see more action on the frontline immediately otherwise the hope for finding more passionate competent staff can be forgotten.

Well done!
I for one have stepped out. I really wanted to help make a difference. I wanted to be part of the new social work regime.
But sadly, its not to be. Maybe as a mental health advisor, I will be able to make a difference.
Its a shame, of all professions, it shouldn’t be social work!

In reply to Black Diamond.

Well said.
I have attended interviews after interview for roles for ASYE.
What do I get told?
I font have enough field experience, or I’m not suitable for the role???
SWE need to sort this racism thing. Its very discouraging.
Maybe more BME’s at the helm may be a great start.

People of colour have died at the hands of the police, due to poorer health, minimum wage jobs, discrimination, insecure housing, immigration controls, liberal guilt, the fear of the other and ofcourse overt and covert racism for decades in the UK. It’s shocking it takes a murder in the USA to awaken SWE to these issues. I have read the jd for the fixed term EDI Manager post. It’s disheartening that after all of the decades of discrimination and underrepresentation SWE are still talking about action plans, policies and strategies. We already know why statutory organisations staffed by mainly white middleclass graduates with multiple jobs in other similar organisations fail in inclusion. What do we still need to find out? Addressing inequality and underrepresentation isn’t really that difficult. Start by looking into your own teams. Recognise that the reason why you might be generally mono cultural and class based is not because people that look like me lack the knowledge, skills and intelligence to do your jobs; might it be because what you see as the essential qualities for joining you are in fact a way of excluding us and preserving your privileges? We know our planet is round, we don’t need to discuss circumference to make sure. You know you have a problem, address it, don’t bury it in consultations and reports. Here is a naive strategy: Start with us.

They knew this when they were hiring their buddies. So tired of the rhetoric and people filing their CV’s saying they know that #BlackLiveMatter and were appointed to talk to those with dark skin about their pain , suffering and exclusion. I bet they could get the villains view over dinner when they are hanging out. Stop the nepotism and racism. Hire those that have been earning their stripes on the job, in the field and don’t hang out with in your nepotism cliques.

In reply to Black Diamond. Dear Black Diamond, I was being ironical. As a woman of colour myself I too am offended that SWE are prioritising CPD over racism and underrepresentation.

In reply to Susan McKee.

Susan McKee
Please do not get offended by what I am just about to say. I understand and agree that we need to register our CPD. However please do not say they will get round to the racism some time soon or perhaps much later. I really think that insulting as a Black Women a woman of colour.

Racism is not a casual debate, it affect people’s lives, families livelihood, BAME communities, mental health. Black die due to Racism. Racism has been at play for over 400 years. Yes we are in 2020, it real and needs to stop now.

If Social Work England- Really wishing to show their commitment to the Black lives Matter movement and Anti oppressive and Anti Discriminatory practice then they should lead by example and start by having ethnic quotas which will allow Black social workers and Bame staff to be recruited at all levels of the local authority and other organisations. This is the only way fairness will prevail.

Well said Nasim.

I also speak from experience that majority of the complaints are brought against BAME social workers for even small things like the social worker did not individually speaking to other workers for covering the task in her/his absence and the worker is not even given the opportunity to explain as to what he/she did do before requesting the task to be done by the duty worker/s in her absence.

Sheer gross discrimination and SWE looks into these investigations.

BAME workers are sacked on such grounds mentioned above.

Had this been a non BAME worker, the management would have commended the worker for taking responsibility and entering tasks in the duty diary that needs doing in her/his absence.

Its really sad.
