Incompetent Social Workers
Maybe all those ABs who rushed to defend the Social Workers when I asked in Feb. whether SWs were
naive or incompetent , would now like to defend them again . A father made his 2 daughters pregnant on 18 occassions . The SWs and the pollce were repeatedly told what was happening but failed to take action . The girls' brother reported it in 1997, and several hundred SWs have been involved . What do you call it , if its not incompetence ?

of course. but would you do it for what they're paid? I wouldn't. they're under-staffed, over-worked and made public scape-goats when there has been a failing. and they are expected to be mind-readers, or have some kind of 6th sense most of the time.
my 16 year old daughter expressed an interest in Social Work as a career. I hope I've put her off.
what a shame. she'd probably have been fantastic.

Without knowing the full story, it's very easy of me to say that yes, in this instance the SW's were VERY incompetant!
However, id like to think that the vast majority of them are competent, and care vastly about their job and the children in their care. I have to, the alternative is too horrible to think about.
What do you suggest as an alternative to SW's then modeller?

The father also moved them 67 times............that's 67 !!
Can you imagine how many cracks that would have created for information to slip through ?
There has been a reporting restriction on this case so that the children fathered by this individual aren't identified, therefore some of the 'facts' surrounding this case are not available to the rest of the country (not that, as recent behaviour shows, many folks need evidence before making their judgements) and nor should they.
Whether the SW were incompetent, or whether they had rings run round them by a devious and dangerous man is the real question.

Boo You seem rather keen to change the subject, I wonder why . We are dealing with the situation as it is . What is happening . Why it repeatedly happens.
Your question " What is the alternative to the SWs " is a red herring as we all know the answer : There isn't one . We need and will always need SWs same as we need all services, but is that need an excuse for bad service. I have no doubt many of those people concerned do " care vastly about their work " but if they fail the very people they are supposed to be protecting then something is radically wrong.
