Back……

You go away for a few days and it all happens. Back to the grind – but the Salty Dog still has a hang-over. Not me though.
So the final report of the Social Work Taskforce has been published as reported in Community Care (among other reporters). See here:
and http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/dec/01/social-work-reform in the Guardian.
Not only that but those lovely people at Ofsted are in the shit for destroying evidence in the Sharon Shoesmith case, as reported here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8389714.stm

Meanwhile the GSCC get a bit of a battering from the Telegraph, here:
However, even Wilt thinks that article a bit misleading, as much as he loves the Telegraph and as much he he regards the GSCC with contempt.
All this is too much to take in – much study is required of the Taskforce report, which can be found here: http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/swtf/ and click on Final Report.
Anyway, further news of a Sharon Shoesmith type case is outlined in my email and also needs a bit of investigating.
What interesting times!
Oh, and Ofsted and various Government Departments have been all over Regulator Watch like a rash, combing its various entries. Someone is telling tales about Wilt, we think. Do we care – nope?
