Because writing about social work can be funny, too! So often, the only way you get what you need in this field is to kind of be a pain in the ass. No one wants to, but you have to. Lots of people don’t check their voicemail. Or they don’t answer their phone. Or check their email. They might not even go here. So you have to be “proactive.” That’s the nice way of saying “stalker.” It’s fine, no charges have ever stuck. But it’s the way things get done. Not that I’ve considered that. Anyway. You need to st...

Regulator Watch: March 2010
http://regulatorwatchuk.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Contact and Complaints or Comments. Wednesday, 31 March 2010. Quite frankly, if there was ever a time for BASW to give in, it is now. Stop digging a hole even bigger than Dawson has already dug and just, well, stick your heads in a meat grinder – the likely outcome from your brain might just be as comprehensively stupid. What is wrong with these people: http:/ www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/03/29/114178/basw-offers-to-work-alongside-college-development-group.htm. Labels: are we on the same planet?

Mixed Feelings, Inc. Monday, January 10, 2011. You know what I hate more than anything else in working life? Reading a 2000-page stack of ACS records is what I hate more than anything else in working life. And they always seem to come in 2000-page stacks. Nothing good can come of any endeavour that generates this kind of paper trail. Franklin P. Smearcase. Thursday, January 6, 2011. That day will come. I imagine this to be the perfect lyric expression of my client's experience. To this we've come,. Patri...

Mixed Feelings, Inc. Sunday, May 23, 2010. What is "to toddle" please anyway? In Chicago, birthplace of my master's degree and my seasonal affective extravaganza. Today a few things happened that had something to do with something. One was that I ate at Harold's, which is not really worth talking about here but it's pretty much reason enough to love Chicago. Even if I sort of, ok, don't. Longer story. Answer, courtesy of the next few years: no; you will simply end up doing it.). Well, S was pretty orthod...

Regulator Watch: February 2010
http://regulatorwatchuk.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Contact and Complaints or Comments. Saturday, 27 February 2010. Step back and think on. Gone it seems are the talks of BASW (British Association of Social Workers) becoming a trade union (as distinct from a professional body) and their role in the forming of the Social Work College (Royal or not) is fraught with tensions – or more to the point fraught with competition. Added to this there are now further tensions between BASW and Unison (the primary local authority trade union.). On the latter matter, W...

IEP, as simple as 7 3 9. | SocialJerk
https://socialjerk.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/iep-as-simple-as-7-3-9
Because writing about social work can be funny, too! IEP, as simple as 7 3 9. We’re back to school. Pencils, books, teachers’ beautiful looks, all that. It’s a delight. I’m also back to fighting with school staff. I swear, they started it! And partly because I had a mother who worked in education, knew the system, and knew her kids’ rights. She also knew not to believe us when we said we didn’t have homework. For the last time, who are you and how do you keep getting access to my blog? If you don’t...
