You need to look after yourself. Your managers will not do this for you. They will continue to rely on your goodwill. This is their exploitation of your good and caring nature.

The hours you’re working are ridiculous and you have stated you “hide it”. This does not help at all. I am a Social Worker and like you I do it because I care and desire to bring about some improvement in the lives of vulnerable children and adults.

I’m a manager and have just finished work, exhausted after starting at 4.30am covering other managers leave, Social Worker’s on leave and I hide it. Please stop bashing Managers, I don’t expect my team to put in so many hours, I actively promote toil and a decent WLB.

Why do I do it- because I care and because I am a Social Worker and yes need to keep my job and work ridiculous hours to ensure stuff is recorded because I fear repercussions off something happens and if it isn’t recorded.

Managers need to undertake learning about supporting their employees as to their welfare as opposed to ticking the boxes to satisfy a case audit/Ofsted inspection/their own careers.

Unfortunately, managers are fixated with a number to determine
a caseload without concern to complexity of cases. What is needed is decent and realistic caseload weighting

I welcome the ambition of this proposal, but think basing it on a figure demonstrates an imperfect understanding of the situation. What is needed is genuine engagement from central government, that includes significant investment which would enable mangers to use their professional judgement on the caseload for each worker.

How many times does this have to be stated? This is worrying and dangerous
