I have been a social worker for over 30 years. Whilst I had welcomed the idea of social work being a regulated profession, sadly it has done nothing whatsoever for our profession. SWE is just another bureaucratic body which we have to pay the privilege to be a member of. There is a total lack of accountability on their part with this brave woman having to challenge via the courts to get redress.

Whatever the silence from BASW and SWE is meant to achieve they’re not going to scare us anymore. The Law is clear and no amount of veiled threats of bigotry is going to cut it now. Some of us remember when a PSW told a colleague to remove a copy of a Harry Potter paperback because the author was “a transphobe”. No debate against tolerated, do it or you’ll be disciplined, all in the name of social work values apparently. None of this will wash any longer. Bullying because someone decides you need to be put on the ‘right’ path might go down well in the leadership pals circuit but the fear is no longer there for us. We got an email telling us not to discuss this case as it was “sensitive”. Once we would have remained silence, but we didn’t, we talked, some for some against the outcome, but everyone knew that the power to report those we didn’t agree with was no longer in our gift. It stated as a discussion, it ended as a discussion. Isn’t that how social work discourse is meant to be?

In reply to Carter. The same thing happened to me in a BASW forum and I was accused of antisemitism. The mind boggles.

In response to Samuel there has been a growing disquiet amongst some of us BASW members regarding the mostly uncritical validation of how SWE chooses to ‘investigate’ social workers and also its Registration process. I know one BASW member who resigned after raising the vilification of Rachel Meade in a members forum who then themselves were accused of bigotry. It’s inconceivable that BASW central are not aware of these exchanges given its strong support of the decisions taken by SWE against Rachel Meade. BASW should be an independent robust social work and social worker advocate not constantly filtering its position and statements through the prism of SWE.

In reply to Samuel.

Glad to see this case being covered in The Guardian…

Given its treatment of Meade, it seems clear that SWE believes people can indeed choose their sex – not only as a matter of legal registration, via the gender certification process introduced by the last Labour government, but as a matter of “fact, biology and reality” – even if they have undergone no medical treatment and their transition is a purely social one (clothes, name-change and so on). It is the core of gender-critical belief that this is not true.

Easy and of course justified to criticise SWE but they stand on the shoulders of other so called social work advocating organisations which give them the ‘ moral’ authority to treat individual practitioners with punishment focused investigations. Perhaps this will jolt BASW members to ask some questions about the peas in a pod chummyness it has with SWE.

Moral of the story – trust no one and don’t have friends from work on your Facebook page. Social workers are scared what to call people now and all the pronoun nonsense. SWE is now used as a kangaroo court for HR departments that won’t face or deal with low level issues head on. Some of the referrals you read on SWE website are hilarious. “They never wrote notes”. Er, didn’t that used to be a managers job and HR? Thank you 2 spirits

In reply to dk. Hang on - you criticise people for not using critical thinking, but you’ve commented without reading the judgement? Or considering what the evidence might be behind the concerns raised?

In reply to dk.

Have you actually looked to see what the evidence is?
Because if you had – as you should do, if you’re a social worker – you will see that the statistics recorded by the ONS indicate that trans women are convicted of sexual offences in line with if not in greater relative numbers than natal males, and so the pattern of offending is in line with male criminality not female.
Nobody is saying that trans women as a whole are sex offenders, in exactly the same way we know not all men are sex offenders. But the risk of sexual harm from males is higher, which is precisely why there is a need for single sex spaces.
You talk about risk assessment and critical thinking, but it seems in fact you haven’t done the reading behind the concerns raised.
