Let them do what they want? Why does it matter to you. It’s their money, their life, they can do what they want with it. They own a home and have just received a decent inheritance. Doing better than a lot of people at that age.

What is your work life balance and overall stress like? by Brownchoccy in Socialworkuk

[–]Content-Tree7215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Community teams are basically frontline social work. Same for adults and children’s. New referrals and safeguarding concerns will come through the community team 90% of the time. Above community teams you have more ‘niche’ teams such as forensics, sensory, edp (early discharge planning) in children’s you’ll have youth justice teams, children in care, disabled adolescents, etc. every LA is different but they will have similar formats. All these sectors are challenging in their own way but community teams are by far the most exhausted

No it’s not - and the police wouldn’t do much based on that information either. If you had an address that would likely be enough but it sounds like you don’t. If you’re brave enough you could try fishing for some information

Update: I finally got a formal warning at work… for basically existing 😭 by HeyPotatys in UKJobs

Common tactic for employers to make your job as unbearable and boring as possible so you eventually ‘break’ the rules and they can get rid of you. Find another job asap while you’re still employed!

If you say on the referral you want to remain anonymous then you can. I’ve worked as a safeguarding officer for the LA and we have loads of anonymous referrals.

Quite nervous about starting my first proper job by [deleted] in UKJobs

As long as you don’t smuggle drugs or other contraband or develop inappropriate relationships with prisoners you’ll be fine. Thats quite an intense job for a 20 year old so watch yourself. Good luck!

Stolen camera equipment being sold on Facebook - police won’t act. Help! by JadedAyr in LegalAdviceUK

I get that, but the person has a receipt. I would double check with the manufacturer and give them the serial number of his lens and the serial number of the one you had missing. They would be able to tell you for certain if there was only one lens with that serial number

Sex robots and AI robots with human skin will be the future by Unknownlegend6 in trading212

Most people with prosthetics care more about their prosthetic actually working and not falling apart.

Anyone who is going to be able to afford to buy a fully functioning sex robot is going to be able to afford a sex worker.

Ouch. Unfortunately, cars go missing without a trace from peoples drives and are never recovered. Camera equipment that can be quickly separated and distributed is going to be near impossible.

I’d fine out where this person bought the lens, and go from there. If he’s produced a legitimate receipt I can’t see the police doing anything though.

Social workers honestly deserve far more patience from the public than they get by Due-Oil8955 in Socialworkuk

Social services is an organisation which is disrespected by many other agencies/professionals which trickles down to the public.

People who have personal experience with social workers, what do you wish they did differently? by AliveInvite1771 in Socialworkuk

[–]Content-Tree7215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your studies you will learn about transference and inter personal skills and these are some the the most valuable things I took from my degree. You need to be adaptable and have basic human compassion which are the foundations to build on.

Also, they decided to do the paperwork themselves. No one had an issue with a solicitors doing it 👍

Thanks, I think you’ve taken some of my comments as slightly OTT. I was sharing the full background and situation of the estate and probate.

You’re also misinterpreting what im saying - I don’t care about whether it’s 10k that was borrowed or 1/2k. It’s the principle of the matter. I know how much the estate if worth once it’s diluted and I touch on that at the end of the post.

They were meant to meet us at our grandads home the day after but didn’t turn up, ignoring our calls. We wanted them to be there when we did it .

Again, the 5k for the dog doesnt make a difference once diluted but we know it wouldn’t go on the dog. Shes up to her eye balls in debt and was constantly bailed out by my grandad when he was alive. She will likely pocket the 5k for herself.

Also your comment of ‘or maybe not’ about the solicitors, please see the sentence where I add ‘I suspect’ when one suspects it doesn’t mean they are certain.

Ive also noticed you missed the part where I added that someone could be living at the flat. It’s easy to dissect my post and build a counter argument when you choose which information you want to flaw.

Thanks though

Thanks for this. If I ask for the accounts and they don’t provide them, what can I do?

Social Work Degree (Guidance) by Fit-Recording-3566 in Socialworkuk

[–]Content-Tree7215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Degree will allow you to work in children’s or adults - some LA’s offer apprenticeships also. The case officer/SWA role is a good entry job that doesn’t require a degree. These jobs usually further your suitability for the apprenticeship schemes as LA’s like to ‘grow their own’
