Care Leavers' Association

Is this a trick question? Of course not.

Definitely not . I would question her suitability in being a professional practitioner/ social worker and her ability in making sound decisions judgments on complex family cases unsupervised. Why? my reasoning and personal opinion is that all services users need to be confident have the up most reassurance that a social worker would not have a serious conviction of this type. it is not a minor offense? my understanding correct me if I am wrong?
Social workers would value life of every human being and their rights even in their personal relationships as well as professional.
What troubled me more was the fact she disclosed gave permission for her file to be read , this apparently did not happen, the article does not explain why this good practice minimal standards what society the general public would expect the local care authority to perform carry out. before a person is employed in a trusted position such a social worker. Why wasn't this done?
I was amazed too, that within a few years she was promoted to the high level of staff authority became a team leader within a department. I think by allowing this social worker to be employed carried a risk with vulnerable clients not acceptable in my eyes.
What were the department officers thinking? It is their responsibility to ensure advocate their checking Could they categorically state this was in the best interest of all parties? I think sadly in this case if all the facts accurately reported, the safe guards systems policies in place to protect service users failed.They must be a problem with the process it sounds flawed.
If I was a client of her's I would have the tendency to think the possibility she could think consider in her thoughts harming some one or others in the future. We are informed social work is a very stressful job.
