One thought on “Meeting: Directors of NI Social Services”
An iterating article, but in my experiences of Social Workers over many, many years, I would hold out very little hope of any positive outcomes.
The core setting of Social Work in Northern Ireland is to circle the wagons and deflect any criticism by the age old excuse of lack of resources etc. For all sectors of the Public Secor, resources are always have and always will be an issue. However much you give them, they will justify its spending on the stupidest of schemes, with very often little, or no method of being able to quantify the relevance of the spending outcome.
If one worker is feeling the heat too much, they are usually transferred somewhere else and everything is usually taken back to square one.
