Social Work, as a socially supportive professions, is suffering an indignant demise: Over a year ago, on this web site, I proposed that Social Work is in serious crisis. Well, I now have to report that, to all intent and purpose, it may no longer be 'Social Work' as we know it (certainly within the Shire Counties). The pressure is on and the Title has been almost completely incorporated into the roles of 'Community Policing' and 'Budgetary Control'. The registration of 'Title' of Social Work, within the GSCC (Government Sponsored Social Care Regulatory Body), is technically briefed to protect clients, but will actually, only protect 'social care' practitioners in their statutory undertakings and obligations. . . . . . . . . . . .
