Okay, so I think we have got the message that Social Workers have a difficult job - we get you - but you know that when you become one and if you can't do your job properly - resign!

Your job is to protect children, not to be best mates with the parents.

I am just so sick of hearing how hard their jobs are like that is an excuse for the fact that yet another child was under their "care" and they failed them.

Nothing has changed in decades and I doubt it ever will.

They could save a fortune in forster care I believe if they funded carers properly- a lot less people would be feeling like they ahd to give thewir kids up (I'm talking Snrather than CP obv, but a fioster carer space free is good for all in CP too)
