  And, in the case of the involved social worker and other social work staff, they, also, would have their 'social services agency support subsystem, and interagency subsystem, such as the 'core group.' Of course,  irrespective of what the expectations are, or what senior managers and politicians might say.   The occasions when a social worker or social services team or departments will have sufficient amount of the relevant resources to perform their work competently, is either rare or never or both.  This is, after all, a service sector where the demand has already, and will always exceed the service's capacity and ability to meet it. Social services. Which is probably why I will, occasionally, if not often, find myself thinking that the social work/social services industry needs to be applying more innovation and technology to how they operate.  As well as ensuring the safety of the children and families whose safeguarding and welfare they are charged with, social wo

  And so it seems to me, to be very ironic, problematic that 'people of faith', as it were, should be able to speak of 'their faiths' as if they were a given.  As if they the are true accounts of things which did happen in human encounters with 'God' or 'the Gods and Goddesses' of this and that religious beliefs and rituals. I mean, where else or in what fields other than that of religion.  Can anybody make the blatant claims which are made by Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, et al.   Without a shred of credible evidence or proof of the veracity of what is written and/or is being repeated by the relevant believer? Politicians would not be able to get away with not being transparent and accountable for what they are promising.  Medical professionals would not be able to make incredible comments and assertions about the care and treatment they are providing.   Without being made accountable for its impact or lack of impact.  To be continued!

  Without the intervention of this fateful factor, it seemed that Hamilton was on his way a P.2 finish.  As it seemed probable that, Verstappen, with his newer tyres, should have been able to overtook him at some point during the final 6-8 laps of the race.  It seemed a balancing of fate, as Verstappen's closeness to Hamilton had partly bee the result of a mistake made by Hamilton before he was overtaken by Verstappen.  Swings and roundabouts it might have been, but it was one that decisively benefited Hamilton, and proved the chagrin of Max and his fans and team.  Something which Max, more than many others, including Hamilton, is increasingly better at assuaging and moving on. And so it is that we are being set up for another year of potentially very exciting Formula 1 racing.  A year which might or might not see Hamilton continuing his now unprecedented career as a successful Formula 1 racer.  Although, outside of his modelling and developing Extreme E Team Car ventures.   Hamilt

  Of course, if I am honest, I would also let it be known that I am amazed by how my dear mother can.   Even at this late stage of her life, appears to be still riding the 'ebbs and flows', by appearing to be declining, only to bounce back again.  Even though the trend, logically, is a downward one.  It would appear that, sometimes when my dear mother seems to be declining substantially, these are more the manifestation of her being ill and not feeling well.  Rather than anything she is, with appropriate care, not going to be able to recover from. Even as she steadily decline in her mental, intellectual and physical functioning.  It seems that my dear mother is able to move down the rungs of each ladder, struggle and adjust to the challenges associated with each of them, and find an accommodate to the life she has to live at the level of that rung.  Just as how her carers and her family, those who are involved with her, have to find ways and means of managing the  additional ch

  Big Congratulations to Team Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, for making it P.1 and P.3, and to Team Red Bull and Max Verstappen, for making it a P.2 finish. In the first Formula 1 car race of the 2021 world championship season. The Bahrain Grand Prix, on Sunday 28th March 2021. How good and exciting it is to have the privilege of enjoying another year of Formula 1 racing. Tempered with the knowledge that, it is but a matter of time before both the racing 'big named and big men and women of Formula 1,' along with the older generations of racing fans. Will gradually or suddenly drop out and move onto to other things. Leaving void to be filled the younger generations of players who are fated to succeed them/us. Which is why we need to enjoy it while we can, even under the unusual, but now accommodating restrictions of the, hopefully, receding Covid Pandemic. The exciting finish which we experienced in the closing laps of the Bahrain Grand Prix, was not that appar

So, how conducive is the the environment in which social workers operate, to avoid tragedies occurring? What kind of environment do they operate in? One of the core principles of providing protection for the the vulnerable and at risk child and family.   Is that of building and maintaining a supportive multi-agency and multi-discipline network around them. But, is this something which envelopes the social worker and the social services industry as well? Is the social work industry founded on the principle of somebody, some other system having the social worker's back, as it were?  Is it being supported by the principle and culture of, 'you look after the interests and welfare of vulnerable and at risk children, individuals and families.   And 'we will safeguard your back and provide you with the resources and support you need to do a competent job'?  So as to provide relevant support for parents and other carers who need such support to meet their own and thier children
