Deidre Sanders, The Sun's agony aunt and member of the Social Work Taskforce, has set up a survey to find out what Sun readers think should be changed to get social work "back on its" feet, the paper reports.

But is she asking the right questions?

I have a confession to make. I spent yesterday evening with a senior journalist from The Sun. And he wasn't all bad. 

It was a bit like a blind date. The matchmaker was Unison, Community Care's partner in the Stand Up Now for Social Work campaign, which calls for better media coverage of social work. The venue was a swanky Mayfair hotel, where we were to watch the presentation of the Press Gazette's annual British Press Awards.

I kid you not. The Sun is apparently launching a radio station. What does this mean for social workers, who are, as we well know, the paper's favourite cannon fodder?

As part of Community Care's Stand Up Now for Social Work campaign -which is calling for more suport for social workers from the media, government and employers - we have been keeping an eye close eye on how the media reports social work issues.

In the coming weeks we'll be highlighting the best and worse examples. First on my hit list is yet another article in The Sun.

You have told Community Care that you have had enough of inaccurate, misleading and hostile media coverage of social work - and we agree. We've launched the Stand Up Now for Social Work campaign to fight back and show the public what a huge difference social workers make to society.
