Dana, what an excellent discussion of governmental responsibility... and the behavior of pendulums.
It convinced me you know your agency's mission, and how it is working in the real world.
Was this written just for the Cellar, or is it something of a report within your agency ?
I think your last was part is quite true here in the US too.
Certainly SW's get bad publicity on both ends of the decision spectrum.
Quote:
But social workers have been made to carry the can entirely.
Nor are they well-paid compared to other professions with similar
requirements in terms of educational level and qualifications.
They seem to be a profession under siege.
Under paid, over worked, high stress levels, high dropout levels,
very high levels of work related depression and related illness.
