Bit of the Ben Goldacres here: What don’t usually make the news, however, are the hundreds of cases when the social workers’ failure is the very opposite: where, aided by police and courts, they seem determined to remove children from responsible parents, to consign

Looks like social workers are now officially too crazy even for fellow leftists: Social workers behaved like officials in 'Stalin's Russia or Mao's China' in attempting to remove children from loving mothers, senior judges have said.Needless to say, there's still a way to go. One judge manages to hit on two of the daftest clichés social workers use to excuse themselves, before finally hitting on ...

Ranting Stan has a good post on the bizarre 'Baby P' report (short summary: social workers suck, so give them huge pay rises). Hey, it's not exactly the same as the Macpherson Report. Stan hits the nail on the head. It's not about who reports to who, or how many department heads there are, it's about a warped culture.

A task force set up to investigate the state of social work in Britain after the murder of Baby P under the very noses of social workers has come up with some wholly predictable and pointless recommendations.

It is well acknowledged that our public services are overburdened with pointless and counter productive regulation, that there is too much wastage and bureaucracy which stops police officers, teachers and social workers getting on with the job, and front line staff are treated like teenagers who can’t be trusted. Much of the blame lies with
