The latest GSCC finding can be seen here:
This is the case of Lorraine Brimelow who has been suspended for six months. Very odd case.
Again no new evidence from the GSCC – a simple rehash of local authority disciplinary hearing evidence and police reports. This must have taken them all of a few hours to pull together and assess against the Standards. Easy work for very highly paid quangoites.

There is a new petition protesting at the outrageous invitation of the GSCC (yep them again) of Deidre Sanders (agony aunt of the Sun) to speak at the GSCC annual conference. See article here:
which also has links to the petition itself.
It was of course firkin Balls that appointed her to the Social Work Task Force which sparked the first furore among the social care profession, but for the GSCC (Dorks) to then invite her as a keynote speaker just added insult to injury. What is ironic is two things:
i) The title of the conference which is “Social Work: a profession to be proud of.” AND
ii) The date of the conference being 14th October – the anniversary of the Children Act 1989 implementation day
Apart from Deidre Sanders and Ed firkin Balls, the GSCC are equal in doing everything to destroy the profession. We think we will not be going to the annual conference and I suspect not many will be.
Has the GSCC done anything right? Answers on a postage stamp to Wilt, please. Is there something of the night about Balls? He is such a smarmy git?

“Wall” is another social care blogging site. Will be added to our “sites we like to visit.”
Excellent.
