What do social workers think should happen following the death of Baby P?

From the BBC:

Eight out of 10 social workers who responded to a poll think new managers should be brought in at Haringey Council in the wake of Baby P’s death.

The Community Care website survey also found 86% of 250 respondents felt that the case of Baby P reflected wider childcare protection problems…

Community Care is a website and magazine for people working in the social care sector, at all levels of seniority.

Its readers’ poll found that 79% of respondents felt new managers should be brought in at Haringey Council following the Baby P case…

Deputy editor Emma Maier said the poll’s findings reflected serious concerns within the profession.

“The general feeling is that the Baby P case reflects wider problems in social care, despite reassurances otherwise from the Association of Directors of Children’s Services,” she said.

Many of those who responded said they believed the case highlighted “unrealistic” caseloads, too much paperwork, a lack of social workers, as well as inadequate training and supervision.

Respondents were also angered by “demonisation” of social workers and expressed concern that media coverage would lead to further recruitment problems.
