steen1976 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 for what it's worth (not much really) I think social workers are some of the most unsung heroes in society. They cannot win. They get bad press due to the odd case here or there of a child (or elderly person, or disabled person) who is let down by the system, but it's not the social workers who did the damage, its the bloody parents, or the carers. They have to walk a very thin line between over interfering and not interfering enough. They are all tarred with the same brush of being lefty namby pambies, but that's because they're in a caring profession, one that doesn't attract the average right wing sadistic sociopathic daily mail reader. Good on you Paul Spot on. I'm sure some of those berating social work would be delighted to find there was no one to help care for an elderly relative because they had all buggered off to find a real job.

Guest Revs30 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 They also need a degree in the subject, and membership of the professional body.They don't allow any Tom, Chalky, or Harry to do this job, dontcherknow:daydreaming: for what it's worth (not much really) I think social workers are some of the most unsung heroes in society.

Good on you Paul Totally agree with both above posts! With my wife being a social worker i know that they all get a hard time and bad press. As you have said they have to walk a very thin line regarding interference and if it wasn't fot them then there would be even more abuse, neglect, etc etc going on in todays society. She has studied hard, got a diploma, a degree, and post qualified! These people need more recognition and appreciation i say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly this is not isolated to GB, we have our own set of idiots here lets not kid ourselves. The Courts do not do us proud with alcohol fueled crime!

Guest The Pom Queen Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yesterday a couple of the mods wanted to close this thread. I told them that I would post a warning and I was sure that you would continue to play nicely, unfortunately you always get a couple who spoil it for everyone else. Unfortunately as this thread keeps getting personal I have no option to close it, I will see if it is possible to tidy up if so then it MAY be reopened.
