Social workers with good mental health training should be increased to cope with the Nations current issues. My son now 58years old has has Schizophrenia for over 25 years. He only was assigned a Social worker two years ago, after a 3rd time my son had beeb sectioned. The person assigned had very little knowledge of his condition and for those 2 years caused mire problems than he solved. If I had not been here to support my son, as I have done continuous ly I fear for my sons life. That is no exaggeration.
Mental health at any age or whatever reason needs knowledgeable people dealing with their special problems.
Another reason the powers that be don’t listen. False economy at worst.

statutory advocacy within adult mental health services has been trimed, pruned and replanted elsewhere in the garden with on the whole the blessing of the professionals …

…unless there’s a re-recognition for a stand alone statutory social work function in key decision-making-approvals in, say, detention or mental capacity then the job is redundant, no? …

… the ethics of such are showing up across sucessive Government with the return to poorly veiled Poor Law decision-making criteria of deserving and undeserving recipients of welfare …

… the mdt approach has always served the I’ll thought out purpose of salami slicing and making cuts easier to stomach, if not fashionable, while mitigation of any blame for services failure is spread or hidden by the collective decision making machinery of an mdt…

… it’s so 1990’s, right? …

Unfortunately, social workers in mental health teams are increasingly used to do the tasks other professionals don’t want to do , rather than tasks they can do. The AMHP role is typical – the role is merely a stressful exercise of ringing around organising the assessment and then tying up the ends afterwards .. very few want to do the role once they see what it actually is.
I feel with cutbacks on the way social workers will be further excluded from mental health specific teams and AMHPs will just reside in Emergency Duty teams for LA responsibilities.
