basw getting there………..

It’s good to see BASW are keeping up to date on the issues relating to the GSCC continued failings, see CC article here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/01/25/113636/basw-urges-transparency-on-gsccs-interim-bans.htm
Meanwhile BASW CEO and former MP Hilton Dawson is mixing it with Community Care Readers and Journalists as set out here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/blogs/social-work-blog/2010/01/hilton-dawson-steps-into-cares.html
Good on him – however I still think the prospects of a BASW run (Royal according to idiot Balls) Social Work College is very, very scary, almost as scary as Balls. Megalomania and “don’t run before you can walk” comes to mind when Dawson says BASW’s concerns are simply to do with a creating a “national” college without Big Brother looking over their shoulder – try pulling the other one, Hilton. Mind you – BASW is coming on and has a far better voice than the last couple of decades, and that is down to Hilton Dawson, even if Wilt is uncertain of his tactic.
We do like Mr Dawson however, and we think him well meaning and hard working. I seem to recall reading that their membership has increased significantly – however not me, yet.
