So, the elderly woman's wishes, and her daughter's wishes are ignored and the old lady was put back into a council home. This is just proving that the law in the UK is an @ss.Is it ';One Flew Over Coventry'; and do we need more control over social workers?
Social workers are simply following governmental legislation. That is exactly what our rulers expect of them.


I am not defending Social Workers, far from it as I have a very low opinion of most of them.


I work in a related field and the liberal minded brainwashing that is brought to bear on these people is both unbelievable and hypocritical.


They probably thought the elderly lady concerned was being ';victimised and abused'; by her daughter and that it was ';they'; who knew what was best for her.


Smell a whiff of a ';nannying'; government in there folks?


Given that it is government who decides the power given to Social Workers, does one not think it was done intentionally and is unlikely to be changed?


In a true Democracy a case such as this, where there are conflicting views between family and authority as to the best way to care for a vulnerable individual, then the law/judiciary should decide.


If necessary this lady could have stayed with her daughter under supervision until a decision was made.


In all walks of life, you cannot blame the worker if management is abysmal, dysfunctional or ineffective. A hat-trick in this case.


That goes for both Social Services and the government
Fascist New Labour Britain say no more, where is any freedom now?





An incompetent government enforcing people to live in an inept care.





The family means nothing.
