Barnardo's chief Martin Narey has told delegates at this year's Local Government Association conference that they should do more to stick up for social workers.
He painted a grim picture of the 'utterly distrustful' environment in which professionals carry out their duties. Searching on Google the night before his speech, Mr Narey found 1.5M results when searching for 'evil murderers' and 19M when searching for 'evil social workers'.Grim indeed. But it's good to see another major figure stand up for social workers.
Meanwhile, how many of you think you have a novel in you? Almost all of you I would wager. You may therefore find it heart-warming to read about the latest social worker to have written a book.
Aaah the life of a novelist. Get up about 10... make a cup of tea, sit in front of the computer for a bit and before you know it, it's lunchtime. Perhaps you'll take the laptop down to the local cafe in the afternoon just to break the day up... One can always dream
