I still hope the appointment of Ms Daby brings with it some hopes of change.However to fully understand the demands faced by all frontline social workers,it makes sense to have experince of what is really happening on the frontline from the initial referral to the completion of child in need, child protection, the court process,supervision orders,care orders or the looked after process.

It should be Someone who is able to give open and honest feedback about the challenges faced by social workers in a meaningful and effective manner.

Someonewho who represents all sections of the workforce in an equal and professional manner to restore the image of the profession. Someone who understands the value in attracting different minority groups to provide a reflective workforce.

Someone of a minority background with Social Work experince,and understanding of the issues faced by black ,Asian and minority children, family’s and employees who in my opinion remain invisible.

Of course it is always better to have an understanding of children’s lived experiences and the experiences of being a social worker who has worked in frontline and have had the challenge of working in such a dogmatic system. I am sorry but I don’t see that Janet has any of these experiences and already, from what I see she is following the same route as most MP’s. She claims to have 15 years experience as a ‘front line social worker’, I dont see how she can put claim to this as Janet has worked 10 years in fostering and the rest in social work consulation, this is so far apart from the pressures faced by the real front line social workers who work under so much pressure to meet timescales rather than have opportunities to enhance and improve children’s life experiences.

I live and work in Lewisham where Ms Daby is the MP. She was a superb local councillor but her voting record as an MP doesn’t match her local one. Sadly she has become a machine politician with a voting record social workers might raise and eyebrow at. That said she might surprise us by rediscovering the qualities that made her such an effective local councillor.

Time to make Social Work have value and respect, for too long Social Workers have been vilified and neglected and whilst I am pleased that a Social Worker had been appointed for Children’s and Family, please don’t forget Adult Care, where the goal posts change when transitions are needed.
There is a lack of experience and skills, newly qualified sw becoming managers after a year, bullying is rife. Experienced workers being passed over if their faces dont fit,clicky managers, services that dont work together, Lack of services, 14 years of Conservatives pillaged money and market forces. Let’s hope Labour make some changes.

I agree that the out of hours service is a bit of a joke. As a manager for 10 plus years in that service we do do more than take calls, however we are severely restricted in all aspects of our role by the lack of social workers in the team. 3 social workers to cover a whole County is insufficient to do anymore than the very basics of work. We find it extremely frustrating that we have to request police to do,what is basically a sw role without the training and often coming up short in the plan we, or the locality teams would have in place. We also do not have access to many of the resources which daytime teams do, this also restricts what support we can put in place to aid the day teams in cases we do work. Time and again we have , and will continue to express what a valuable asset the team could be but funding, as always, appears to be a stumbling block to make it an effective and quality service.

Tom I totally agree with your comments.I understand this lady comes from a social work background therefore let’s hope she has an understanding of the difficuiltys faced by the service and social workers has well as recieveing plenty of support for the good of all.

For many years I to have found it difficult to understand the purpose of the out of hours service, who do nothing to support the day time staff.It appears the norm that a social worker may be involved with a case from 8.30 to sometimes 10 or 11 o’clock at night,then back in the morning to complete paper work.

Is it no wonder social workers experince emotional and physical burn out!!!

What exactly is the out of hours role? I have never understood.

The work force is mostly newly qualified social workers who are being managed by some managers who lack social work knowledge, experience, skill and in some cases little or no communication skills.

Some belivie it is a step up the ladder when they have not yet gained the required experince or competance to develop a team of professional social workers.Some belivie bullying is a form of management.This management style serves no purpose.

Roles are now over laping because some services are under staff.Social workers are then expected to take on the role of other services, this further impacts on social workers workloads and impacts emotional and physical burn out for social workers.

So much needs to change.It is worrying to observe a profession looseing skilled,committed workers who belivie in the profession and who have taken the time to train.

We may all need such a service at some time in our life’s should we not invest in the profession?

It is at least a step-forward in having a person who understands Children’s Social Care and the issues needing addressing.
After 25 years as a Senior SW/Guardian/TM and ISW I know full well the challenges ahead. It is not just about the efficiency of Services it is also about the Funding systems and interplays with Local Authority resources/politics/agendas.
There is also a problem in that their has been for many years a lack of recognition of the role of Social Workers, the workloads they carry along with the expectation that their whole life should be directed towards the children in their care. The ‘Out of Hours’ Services are a bit of a joke as they do little apart from field and then record calls. We need an out of hours Service that is active and attends, allowing SW’s to have normal family lives.
We need managers who are skilled and able to advance their workers and help them develop their insights.
I could go on but I think the point is made that the system is broken and there is a lot of work to do.

Let’s hope one of her first big decisions is to appoint Wayne Reid as a strategic adviser – better still Chief SW.

I do hope the future will look better,fair, and respectful for all children who face abuse, and families who face discrimination and unfair treatment.

I only hope this lady receives support to make changes for all and this is not a political decision with alternative motives,she can not make changes without the right support.

The profession is in need of change there is no doubt about that.

I sincerely wish her all the best and she is able to withstand the difficultys she will no doubt face in all area’s of her new role.
