Social services really getting on my nerves

In the last year ds has been assigned 6 different social workers, who do not have a clue what they are doing.

The pattern seems to be make an appointment, come to see us, then disappear. Next new social worker comes, has a chat with me, a chat with ds, looks around the house, then disappears. Then next, does the same thing.

None of them can even tell me the purpose of their involvement.

I have written to the senior manager twice asking them to define their role and clarify their purpose for being involved. I have given the last 2 social workers a copy of my letters and have been told, i will pass it onto my supervisor.

The last meeting i attended supervisor was there, she had a copy of my letter, but said she couldnt answer my questions and would have to get back to me, but never did.

I have today received a hand scribbled note posted to me from yet another social worker, as she couldnt get hold of me on the phone (they cant even get my telephone number right) wanting to make an appointment to visit us.

I feel like refusing the visit, until they clarify their position?

Which is good obviously, apart from i now have an extemely inaccurate core assessment report for future social workers to read. I am assuming that my response to it wont be along side it to be read too.

Yes. It's a disgrace. Still write the letter clarifying the reasons now.
