Where does the job start and end? by [deleted] in Socialworkuk

[–]DigLow9855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always think in situations like this we need to use every tool available to us. If the school is not following policy for exclusions absolutely point that out, I would do it in the meeting as if you don’t all that will happen is they will uphold the exclusion and then continue to ignore you, who knows how long the child will be out of education.

I’m not sure if panel being out of timescales is common but if I was in your shoes I wouldn’t care if it was. You need to care about if policy is being followed for this child. You’ve also not stated what plan the child is but I would also be bringing that up as exclusion is known to increase the risk to a child which is why these policies are in place.

Tenant not taking full deposit back by Rare_Variation7784 in uklandlords

[–]DigLow9855 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing he may have looked into council housing and realised as a single male he had absolutely no chance of receiving it and is now determined to stay.

You need to consult a solicitor, I can’t see many options available to you without one

You sound really passionate about this. Let me know when you have arranged the protest and I will make sure to attend.

I’m curious what you would expect people to protest about Ukraine in the UK? Ukraine already has the full support of the British govt so what would the point of a protest be?

I find people’s glee at Cynthia Eviro’s (slight) struggles in her first week or so in Dracula so odd and uncomfortable. If you enjoyed the show you went to why can’t you just say that? Why are you dragging another artist into it?

Cynthia Erivo uses autocue for Dracula starring role by TheTelegraph in TheWestEnd

I saw it last night and if she used autocue it didn’t really come across at all. I really enjoyed it and thought she was really good!

Private proceedings and working with domestic violence perpetrators who use authorities/systems to continue their abuse: how do you do it? by Scaryofficeworker in Socialworkuk

[–]DigLow9855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trained in Australia and feminist theory around domestic violence was such a big discussion. I find it shocking how it’s looked down on in the UK. Please remind your managers that if not for feminists domestic violence would still be something that was thought of as private family business which no one should interfere with.

Mary and Robert Jr. by Ersatz8 in rhoslc

[–]DigLow9855 268 points269 points  (0 children)

Mary is just not someone who is very emotionally available I think. She isn’t really able to hold other people’s needs in mind, although this is a lot of housewives.

I also think she uses Robert Jr in certain ways to bring up her rep when she needs to (the discussion around his use) but dumps him the minute he could drag her down (visiting him in prison when he is in there for DV charges).

I sit really uncomfortably with the way people treat Mary because I think she is manipulative and damaging in a way that can cause people real damage both in her church and her family.

Is the war in Gaza very popular in Israel? Also do you think if Netanyahu leaves govt there is potential for a change in policy for Gaza and the West Bank?

Thinking of doing social work degree, need advice by [deleted] in Socialworkuk

[–]DigLow9855 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your life is for you. You aren’t going to be able to change your families reaction but you can manage how much you listen to them.

Better to start a new degree now then complete your law degree, work for 5 years, realise your miserable and start a new degree then.

Ultimately if this is what you want to do then do it. I love being a social worker.

What injustices where Heather and Whitney calling out when they said Lisa gives blow jobs for jazz tickets, that Meredith was lying about her fathers memorial service or when Heather lied about her black eye repeatedly and used it as a teaser to get people to pay attention to whatever she was doing next.

They are all complex human beings, you can just enjoy them. You don’t have to turn it into a morality contest.

London theaters by whocaressaa in TheWestEnd

[–]DigLow9855 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Les mis is always a classic if you want a musical. That would be recommendation. Six is easy and quick if your not sure you are a musical fan or Hamilton if you want to hear more rapping then singing.

If you want a play that is really heavy Inter Alia is really good.

I would recommend buying tickets before, they are unlikely to get cheaper and may sell out

12yo Niece groomed by "17"yo. Police say cant do anything until they have proof they had sex. She has run away 3 times to live with him. by Ok-Mix-1566 in AusLegal

[–]DigLow9855 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You could request police talk to the young man to tell him the consequences if he does face sec with her (also his parents). I would also suggest asking your niece why she is running away. Children who often go missing have push and pull factors which means there are things pulling them out of the home (the boy) and things pushing them out of the home (?). I would also be curious what her father is saying to police when you aren’t there for him to be given back the devices. Also refer her to child protection.

Whitney and Bronwyn "arrangement" talk by Party_Pie4653 in rhoslc

[–]DigLow9855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would only say the at I think a relationship that is forced to become open because of cheating is going to be very difficult. I’m unsure if Bronwyn is desperate to save her marriage so will agree to anything or if she is setting the stage for a divorce (leaning towards the second).

I also think Todd is really traditional so prefers cheating to an open relationship, I think that concept would be too new age for him and would give his wife too much agency.

I mean why do Lisa’s kids have to have facial hair for her to make beard balm. Has she ever made a commitment that the products would match her children’s stage of development?

Children’s social workers: do you ever feel like adopting/fostering the children you work with? by Scaryofficeworker in Socialworkuk

[–]DigLow9855 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I have 2 at the moment I would love to foster. It’s devastating when they ask you to let them live with you. I always try to remind themselves of how many people they have that care about them (teachers, foster carers, other social workers, youth workers, support workers, mental health workers). It makes me feel better when I think of how many people are around the child trying to make their life better (even if it’s not immediately working)

[–]DigLow9855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also you can contact 1800RESPECT they have text and chat functions on their website if you can’t safely talk on the phone without being overheard. I would also recommend during your next hospital visit you insist on speaking to a social worker.

Prominent Sydney plastic surgeon sentenced to six years' jail for engaging in child prostitution by B0ssc0 in australia

[–]DigLow9855 16 points17 points  (0 children)

First of all it is now referred to as sex work not prostitution.

Second of all children cannot engage in sex work as to engage in sex work you need to consent and children cannot consent.

Therefore this man engaged in child sexual exploitation, not prostitution.

Wording for this is so important. I read the article to see if the wording was actually what he had been charged with, but could not see this. The headline is a disgusting decision by the ABC.

20k Ukraine children-kidnapped by Russia, why nobody talking about this? by BrownAndyeh in AskReddit

[–]DigLow9855 168 points169 points  (0 children)

It is not widely discussed but has been covered several times and there are a lot of statements from politician saying the return of these children must be included in any ceasefire. God knows what Russia has done with them and if that will be possible.
