You give too much credence to the letter from the Chief Social workers which does not address the real experiences of social workers dealing with Covid-19 demands on top of the pressures we endure from ‘austerity’ based departmental policies. We don’t need third rate self help jargon, we need acknowledgement and support. Why no mention of social workers who have died in this time? Why are our ‘leaders’ so reticent to address this and elucidate on how and why our colleagues died? Why has it taken a death in the USA to galvanise them to devise “policies” when people of colour have died in contact with police in the UK over the decades? Mental health social work is an arm of the coercive State, why would it not reflect the same lack of diversity as the police force its powers mirror? No more pious outpourings of middle class guilt. Support us with real conviction if as leaders you are serious about change.

Statistics may show successful applications from the Asian and African Caribbean communities, the problems show in the numbers leaving not long after.
Do you intend to look at toxic environments and what support is in place if any?
What are you doing to make the service appealing and finally when are you going to employ them at board level?

I would be very interested and privileged to support clients with mental health as a social worker.

With huge experience on social work and mental health, can someone please suggest the fastest way to get a quick qualification???

There was much talk and chatter with the national service frameworks under the last labour government but these issues took a back seat when austerity kicked and the agenda of austerity and attack against polutic correctness.

The change over from ASW was never met with any resources to support the release of nhs staff to do amph training. The break of section 75 arrangements and social care pulling out of agreements has left social care and health in silos . Crisis teams that were multi disciplinary offered although not perfect did offer a way of integrating a social model and recovery model.

The current arrangements are heavily focused on risk. I feel sorry for AMPHs coming into these arrangements.

On a final point Trusts and local authority adult services/ university amph training need to recognise there lack of diversity and make attempts to address this.

‘We are very well trained about anti-discriminatory practice, we probably have the best understanding of racism and anti-discrimination of any profession’.

Really? Such an arrogant statement . How about as well as asking your own non diverse MH workforce or their non diverse management or non diverse employers you extend that assertion to those MH social work is done TO? You really think those so disproportionately affected as pts as clients as carers think the profession has the best understanding of any?

Try this: when was the last time a MH Trust using social worker AMHPs asked for regular formal feedback on the MHAA process? How many inner city formal feedback and evaluation groups are there on the acute pathway experience? Can tell you this it has NEVER happened in the MH Trust areas in these parts of the capital. So, how are you measuring the training and understanding you refer to when no one on the done to side is ever asked?

There is a very real problem in MH where poor discriminatory practice gets embedded because there is no or such limited accountability. After all, not as if the done to have a choice of provider so why bother ask them about discriminatory practices.

What white able bodied MH social workkers do or dont do in their role moulds the culture of organisations. You dont attract, promote or retain Black or Asian or other minority professionals when the disparities embedded in racism are not challenged.

If my brother is repeatedly sectioned in London by white AMHPs citing layer upon layer of cultural assumptions and narrow subjective interpretations with racial profiling there in records for all to see, why as a black social worker do I want to stay in the profession or encourage others to join?

The arrogance of that statement beggars belief
