🪞How Many Social Workers Does It Take?
In My Case: A Lot.
Filed under: Bureaucratic Overload, Professional Confusion, and Groupthink Theatre
It remains unclear why it has taken no fewer than seven social workers, two team managers, a pretend IRO, a few legal interns, one hostile clerk, and an unnamed administrator with no evident email literacy — just to "safeguard" four children who were thriving at home.
Each time I receive another auto-generated update introducing yet another professional with yet another vacant job title, I am reminded of one crucial fact:
Nothing says “we don’t know what we’re doing” quite like excessive staffing.
Instead of clarifying risk, assessing support needs, or accepting correction, the system has responded to lawful documentation with numerical inflation — as if adding more people will compensate for the absence of a lawful rationale.
The United Kingdom of Overstaffed Failure
You see, in any functioning jurisdiction, it might only take:
One social worker to clarify risk,
One lawyer to read a court order,
And one medical record to acknowledge error.
But in the UK?
It takes twelve unread emails,
Six procedural violations,
Four safeguarding breaches,
And a rotating door of emotionally avoidant professionals — all supervising each other like it’s a GCSE group project gone rogue.
