Re: SOCIAL WORKER GIVING PROBLEMS

[Guest guest]

I would be wary of this - never heard of anything like it in our area. You might

invite her to come with you following at a distance when you take her shopping

in the supermarket, queuing at the Post Office, waiting at a bus stop, etc?

working with my daughter. She is due to meet my daughter's carer(direct

payment) next week to know more about her. Today she calls me up and asked me

whether she can take my daughter for couple of hours outside to assess her how

she behaves, as she thinks kids are different at home and outside.

treatments i am afraid whether this would be some tricks to cut down on the

financially to carry on with my daughter's treatment. I can't afford otherwise.

OMG! I've never heard of that! I wouldn't let her - no way! Maybe ask

for it in writing with a full explanation???

I agree with everyone else!

Say she can follow at a distance or just say that you don't think your daughter

will feel safe with her so NO she can not take her out!

I would say no, your daughter needs time and so do you to trust somebody out with her, how she behaves with someone else is not part of an assessment nor does a mean a thing

I told her i need to ask my husband whether she can take her out or not. She might call me again to know my answer. Please guide me. Can we disagree? if so what reason can be given since she is a social worker?.
