This brings back memories of how a colleague a few years ago was upbraided and given a verbal warning for “bringing the service into disrepute” for suggesting cuts to budgets and choosing not to fill vacancies were damaging to users of services and morale of workers. Apparently social work is a politically “neutral” activity. A sentiment well embraced by the politically directed SWE without irony. One correct thought, one correct path, one loyalty, zero autonomy. I pinched that from above colleague.

The council celebrating social work is a huge kick in the teeth to social workers and an insult that rubs salt in the wound to vulnerable children and adults. The fact that it is staff congratulating staff tells a huge story – why are service users not celebrating social workers? Why is the government as quite as a mouse – perhaps because social work has become an agent of the states very, very nasty agenda. Capitalism and privatisation breeds poverty. Poverty breeds abuse and neglect and hunger. Tory Austerity policies originating in 2009 have made relative poverty (that has existed throughout modern history) rise to the most unacceptable levels imaginable for a self-proclaimed ‘rich nation’…we now have so many more people living in absolute poverty (and of course more million and billionaires than ever). Sad times. Finally, a UN rapporteur this week completely damned the treatment of disabled people in the UK, the governments response at the live hearing was SO SO bad, just repeating sound bites and claiming victories that simply do not exist! All the best social workers I know have left the council to work in the charity sector, in schools or in academia.
