I have just been given yet another new Social worker, i barely got to know the last one let alone my daughter.
Tonight he was supposed to come out and say "Hello" to us both, but it turns out that he has double booked the appointment and is now not coming !!
She is now 15 and at a turning point in her life where the word "Transition" keeps raising it's ugly head. So surly with the interests of these children so they do get to know whom is looking after and out for them it would be best NOT to keep chopping and changing.
Sorry if this comes across as a rant it wasn't meant to be, it just that with in 2/3yrs time my daughter could be leaving my side and going into permanent Respite care.
I just can't help thinking that the system is letting us down just before we begin that journey into the unknown...

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
I'm sure it is difficult for you. Unfortunately, "the system" can't force people to stay in their jobs and work with the same families consistently.
Consistency of care, when it happens, is fantastic.
I hope the new social worker turns out to be supportive and helpful.

Social workers are people, people have lives and those lives are also subject to change. While in a perfect world it would be the same person throughout this is not realistic or feasable really. All the best with your daughter x |

Let that be known to the care team. I must admit we've had our social worker for 2 years now and he has gotten to know my son really well and that does help. That said, change is inevitable in life and helping your daughter find whatever way to cope with that she needs is also a valuable skill, if she's in a position that she can learn how to adjust. |
