AIBU to be really angry with this

[2shoes]

I hope so as I have just fired of a very terse email!!
dd has had the same social worker for about 3 years. before that she had a named sw.
now her SW has been promoted they have put her on duty(whatever SW free deals with it)
I have already asked for a named sw and been turned down.
well I just rang her respite place(she is there tonight) and a sw who i have never heard of or met it doing the visit(they have to visit every now and again)
I an fXXXX furious. how dare they send a complete stranger out to see dd. ok the respite people know him.. but I don't.
well am I BU???

Don't start me off. I've had a duty SW since my lovely one went on ML. I can't wait for her to come back.
I've got a few issues with some neighbours that I need to chat to her about.

Oh and YANBU. I'd want to know who is meeting my Ds. He can't judge them so I have to!!

YANBU. I think it's disgraceful they won't give your DD a named SW.

sorry, wrong login yet again

it is like the parent doesn't count. I am sure he is lovely. dd will be fine. but I am not i like to know who dd is meeting.

We had our named social worker removed as well but are welcome to ring the duty team

crap isn't it.

as if you don't have enough on your plate without having to reinvent the wheel and speak to some random stranger each time you have a problem/request...

Not being unreasonable at all.

After a long fight to get SS to consider even holding a case for my ds, we were given a named SW but I never see her from one month to the next, she never replies to my emails, is never there when I call, etc. I'd be glad to look into the eyes of any SW if it meant they were helping us!!!

Hope the stand-in SW is OK and more to the point, is helpful.

Not unreasonable at all - I know nothing of how social workers operate but there doesn't seem a lot of point in having one you don't even know and I hate the thought of my children (any of them) being looked after by people I've never met or at least been informed about beforehand.

oh dear. I sent the terse email and today I realised that i didn't change my signature so I signed of
