I've signed up out of sheer interest has anyone else?
The college of social work opens for business
Yes, have just taken advantage of the offer - was thinking of joining anyway
I am a bit disappointed that I don't seem to have access to anything yet...
just tried the login and it seems to have worked ok
yes I can log in, but not access the services after that. I presume I have to wait until TCSW confirm I am actually a social worker with the good old GSCC.
Looks like the usual BASW scaremongering to me. Anything to drum up business by that bunch of opportunists to put it another way.
ach I just checked I could log in but never tried the services. Have gone back and I can't access services either.

BASW scaremongering? I'm not sure what that has to do with me joining the college of social work and finding that I dont have access to anything yet? I presume I will do once someone confirms I actually exist with the GSCC. Until then it would seem I can look but not touch.
I am a little confused by your comment so correct me if I am wrong, are you suggesting I am a member of BASW and trying to put people of signing up to the college of social work? A brief search through my previous posts would show that have no affiliation to any of the existing organisations, to the extent that much to my colleagues' chagrin I also do not belong to a union.
However I am enticed and excited/enthusiastic by the idea of a social work college and if all the services they had suggested I would get immediately were available immediately I would have been a very happy hatgirl.
Also, why have you used exactly the same statement on the payday loans thread?
also like Northern Lad I am disappointed that there appears to have been absolutely no point in having been a prospective member.
Hatgirl not sure how this strayed on to this, was meant for the other tread. No intention of suggesting anything untoward by you.
Hi Hatgirl & coolforcatz, if you are qaulified social worker's as i suspect you are, send the college an email and they should grant you access to the full site as they have done for me.
Cheers Rag1

I don't understand why we have to email them individually to gain access to the full site. I signed up to gain access to the full site and I supplied my GSCC registration number presumably so that they could check I was genuinely a social worker? If it says somewhere we have to email them individually it isn't particularly obvious?
I would blame BASW
Yep! All BASW's fault!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well either you lot are just about to get very busy having to do this for a lot of people or you are only a few educated guesses away from finding out my secret non carespace identity if this is only affecting a small number of people!

Well we all knew you were Princess Beatrice from the hat clue anyway!
Dammnit. Hoist by my own pethat
Can we really describe that pink curly wurly as a hat?
More importantly do they still make curly wurlys?
Back to the original topic before I am accused of being a hypocrite - I would be interested to know how many people have already signed up for the TCSW and how many people were prospective members?

Hatgirl; Re; your most important question, I'm sure I had a curly wurly not that long ago, but it seemed much smaller than how I remembered them-and not nearly so good.
RE; TCSW, I am yet to be convinced....
Ahhh I remember fondly Friday 'toffee nights' where I would run down to the local village shop with my weekly 30p pocket money and buy a quarter pound of good old know where you are lemon sherbets or murray mints in a paper bag.
Curly wurlys were never enough value for money with far too little chocolate and general 'solidness' and were only found as a luxurious items in Christmas selection boxes soon to be followed by a sibling debate over who would get that and who would draw the fudge finger short straw.
Then they did away with sweets in paper bags and they and all the chocolate bars became coated in sterile and wasteful plastic wrappers which were apparently going to be much better for us in the long term. Now when anyone talks about sweets and chocolates they yearn for the good old days before everything changed.
I'm sure all sorts of TCSW/ BASW/ UNISON/ GSCC/ HPC general social work metaphors could be found in there if anyone was that way inclined.
They may not seem be more expensive at face value (i.e. Tins of Roses chocolates, Twix bars) or dumbed down (i.e. Mars bars) but they are all less for your money than in the 'olden days.' Don't let us be fooled by 'outward appearances' - make up can be very deceptive!
actually when I think about it the murray mints were already in plastic wrappers by then, perhaps the good old days were not always as rosy as I remember?
TCSW I can't believe that there are only three of us with the registration problem? I will give up my secret identity to you on the understanding that you will make it clear on the website what services are available straight away and which are not, and make it very obvious what people need to do if they find that they cannot access things that they should be able to. Not everyone reads carespace!
I registered without any problem. (was a prospective member)
