I agree! Similarly, a lot of BAME staff will never be nominated or be recognised for their hard work, talent and skills. This list is proof of the lack of diversity and equality. Anti- discrimination and equality are buzz words but means nothing in reality when it comes to recognising BAME staff and their contribution to society and the difference they make. We all need to be aware of hidden racism and unconscious bias and combat it together.

In reply to Gabbi. Too true Gabbi. I turned my back on this award glitzed pomp last year when it was clear the judging is biased and Wayne Reid was overlooked.

In reply to Craig. I work in Adult mental health. Our manager suggested we nominate one of our peers. When we told her we were going to she sent us on our way with a glorious tirade against indulging in elitist bull secretions which I wish I could repeat here. She cannot be the only one to decline.

In reply to Sally. How true. Actually the circle of excellence may just be in the imagination of the nominator and not necessarily the nominated. It may also be that the self promoted excellence is seen differently by those outside of the circle. I hope the buns are fresh at least. Any chance of being told if any one has actually ever declined a nomination?

In reply to Frasierfanclub1. Because apparently cream always rises to the top, wealth showers down to plebs from the coffers of billionaires, the moon is made of cheese, Peppa Pig is an aspirational role model (said in a recent briefing by our PSW). Also as a "rights based profession committed to diversity that embraces equality" social work transcends mere Commendations. Validating worth starts by telling some that they aren't worthy of being in the circle of excellence. Doesn't it?

Instead of pitching dedicated professionals against each other, why not introduce police style Commendations?

Every year we have the same negative comments unfortunately. I have news for all of you who diss these nominations though. We don’t live in an egalitarian society, for which I am grateful. People have different abilities. Some people are plodders, some are barely competent and a small elite group of exceptional people always emerges. They should be celebrated and awarded, indeed I suggest anyone winning a category here should get paid more to reflect their excellence. Don’t fall for these envy comments. I haven’t been nominated but I am not bitter. It just makes me more determined to do better so hopefully I am. This is how we raise standards. We need people who show us how.

Eloquently put Gabbi. The fingers in ears self selected role models basking in imagined excellence would rather not hear you though. Let the irrelevant celebrate irrelevance irrelevantly. Rest of us are content to be social workers without the reverie.

Here is a speech no one will make and the Social Justice Advocate of the Year will shy away from too as it would be impolite and no doubt inappropriate to suggest letting a sliver of real life enter into a ‘celbration’. “Just like most people are facing a cost of living crisis from which they will not be insulated, social work too faces it’s biggest crisis as it finds itself incapable of responding to experiences shaped by poverty and inequality. Just as capitalism, the cause of our current crisis, relies on making us constantly dissatisfied with our lives so we are corralled into the consumerist glitter hall that is Amazon for succor, social work has internalised the mantra that poverty is permanent and all social workers can do is alleviate some of the consequences for individual “service users”. So, rather than accept an award that apparently “recognises” my supposed individual qualities while shying away from uncomfortable realities outside of the ceremony, an event by the way which each year becomes a little bit more of an opportunity to virtue signal through “sponsorship”, I ask that every social worker in England be sent an apology for the money lavished for this which instead could have been spent on at least a single finger of Kit Kat as recognition for what we each do day in day out. Recognition for all of us. Otherwise claims of fighting for social justice, anti-racist activism, opposing discrimination and bigotry is just vacuous posturing. Social work should not be taking its cues from the Acadamy Awards. Our dissent deserve as much respect as should have been afforded Sacheen Littlefeather. In that spirit, I decline to validate this “award” even with the on behalf of all social workers platitude.”

In reply to Beth. Surely your experience is unique. Isn't every achievement, every promotion, every award earned on merit in social work? I am confused.
