The gloves are off!

My last post spoke of the left hand not knowing what the right is doing, well this one tells of a situation where they are actually in direct conflict! Another Social Worker told me of a client with a learning disability who had become homeless. The worker took this client to the council’s homelessness section, to be informed that the man would not be considered as homeless because he was a social work client! I don’t see how the fact that he received services from the Social Work Department meant that he was any less homeless .
The council is vastly overspent, yet one of our own staff was willing to make us incur much greater expense This is yet another person that we are to be accommodating in a £110 per night hotel!
