You will be aware that in the weeks leading up to Christmas the Sun newspaper has managed to whip up a massive campaign against social workers blaming the individual social worker for the death of...

Looks like another stunning victory for social services. As ever, I say that if the problem was merely that social workers were untrained/over-worked/retarded or whatever, these horrors stories would occur pretty much at random. Ditto, with cases of social workers persecuting the innocent. On the contrary, the figures only tilt one way. Social workers have totally assimilated the cultural Marxist ...

Is it really such a bad thing that there aren’t “enough” social workers? After all, as Parkinson’s Law of Social Work states that social problems increase to occupy the total number of social workers available to deal with them Yes, that was me being facetious, but the point remains that we don’t need huge numbers of social

Haringey Council is looking for new social workers after their current crop failed after 60 attempts to stop the death of little Baby P Full advert HERE UPDATE: The social workers responsible had access to the local NHS records of Baby P. Look at all those signatures at the bottom of the agreement. Hope they sleep well tonight.

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. Basically, they suggest more pay and higher status for social workers. Yes, really. The reason Baby P wasn't helped, apparently, is that social workers - as well as, presumably, the poli...

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 ...

Foreign social workers who are trained to deal with children are to be fast-tracked into Britain under plans to halt an escalating recruitment crisis, the Observer has learnt. The migration advisory committee, which guides the government over skilled workers from outside the European Union, will make the recommendation to the home secretary, Jacqui Smith, this month. Social services departments ac...

Never mind the problems with the athletes’ accomodation blocks, the real scandal has been the exploitation of building workers, with large sums of money set aside by law for welfare that has simply gone missing: New Delhi, Sep 10 – The Supreme Court Friday slammed the central government and states for their failure to implement two

What is child abuse? (Click to enlarge) It’s time, once again, to vent our collective spleens. It’s time, once again, for those on the moral high ground to stand up and be counted. It’s time, once again, to crucify a social worker. Haringey Council has done it again. Eight years on from the Victoria Climbie scandal, their social service department has allowed another defenceless child to be ...

Glasgow City council’s attempts to use Tory anti-union laws has backfired. Managers had hoped to use the law to intimidate 600 social care workers from a work to rule and stop solidarity action.
