I saw the documentary last night exposing the Baby P social workers. I must say that social workers are a difficult bunch.
I myself suffered in a different way when I was trying to assist my grandchildren. I think the social workers were so bent on trying to have them adopted they put up so many barriers.
They constantly used third pary feedback or rumors about my family, when all meetings were positive. The social worker that was assigned our case continuously created stories and other events that were inconsistent and untrue.
They also used labels to describe myself and family. These labels were racist in nature and I had professionals and even doctors who stood up for me to defend me cite that the social workers should have been more professional in their wordings.
There were so many criticisms, labels and emotional abuse from our assigned social workers that I was feeling down and abused. I complained to the managers and head of the complaints team with Hampshire County Council and after 10 letters and 10 different responses from over 7 different people nothing was ever resolved.
I am starting to feel better as time heals all wounds but, I am still hesitant to even be around them let along trust them with anyone’s children, even if they do say they are trying to do their job.
