Given that honesty is one of the Nolan principles, surely the organisers should proudly own that this process has everything to do with affirming elitism than a celebration of the “extraordinary work carried out by those in the sector.” It would be less cynical and exploitative of emotion and sensitivity. The “sector” being an embracer of respect and politeness presumably there won’t be an Oscar Moment. That said, an event planned for the eve of the Gunpowder Plot might spring up a surprise.

Given that sending somone to a food Bank has become a core social work ‘intervention’ and my boss thinks we are “empowering” and giving people “choice and control” when we do, actually there is an award for the most referrer to a food bank. Have made your nomination for the Social Justice Advocate yet?

I won a Hidden Gem award once, had it given to me by Head of Service and everything. It used to sit on my desk but hot desking has confined it to the locker. Not sure how Hidden I was given by then I had worked 15 years in the place and to date don’t know what made me a Gem. Point is, these are arbitrary decisions more to do with the corporatisation of social work than celebrating exceptional contributions. Many things have dragged social work towards mediocrity, none more than the bug eyed belief that having an MBA transforms the holder into an all seeing, all knowing expert who can spot above competent practice. I get a slice from Greggs most days. It appears they also celebrate their staff. When I congratulated the young woman on her badge she said it felt great as she would get free lunch for a week. Valuing your staff by giving them something tangible versus a photo opportunity at a beano? Greggs all the way for me. As an aside and not because I am a narcissist, but no one ever mentions I am a Hidden Gem social worker. Why no Social Worker of the Year gong for making the most Food Bank referrals?

In reply to Brian. Thank you so much for that Brian. That's very kind of you to say. We will do our best to keep it up, Mithran

Social workers should be having a “fair share of scrutiny and criticism.” We should be welcoming that. It’s called accountability. If the scrutiny and criticism is unfair confront and challenge it with your more truthful narrative. Giving an award for “success” implies there must also be many situations where there is no success as well. Also how do you measure the “success” of one social worker against that of the other thousands? It’s all very subjective isn’t it? How is a sponsored shindig “good” for people with lived experience?

There should be a special residence category and CC would be my nomination. To report some of the most horrific stories factually and that deserves an accolade in the world of the Daily Mail. Also to keep reporting in the face of some of the never ending nonsense spouted on behalf of social work without cracking up, both senses, is a very special skill indeed. CC also gives us a forum to hear from our peers and I have learnt a great deal had I not been exposed to that opportunity. Sycophantic though this might read, I genuinely mean it.

Social Workers have had their fair share of scrutiny and criticisms. If Awards ceremonies recognise someone’s worth then, I, personally do not think it is wrong. Infact, celebrating success is good for the individual and for the workforce…not forgetting people with lived experience who have benefitted.

In reply to Afia.

You are WRONG Afia ‘some people are superior to others…British Empire is long gone’?!

What planet are you on?

Put simply.. Disgraceful and polarised response!

In reply to Afia. So if you believe in individual elevation you must believe that individuals have the right to.fisagree with you too. Or is communist dictatorship a euphemism for I know best?

I wonder if the great and the good who advocate for and judge this award would be as comfortable if we moved to having individual employment contracts for social workers? After all if it is so easy and objectively sound to single out individual social workers for their higher performance and inspiration why not allow us all to negotiate our own individual pay rates? That way the best would be paid what they deserve rather than lag along with the also runs like me dragging them to my pay level. Reward the best all year-round not just at a commercially sponsored”celebration” folks.
