Tell us something we don't already know. Social workers have always been in a tricky situation. They are either seen as useless incompetents who can't stop abuse even when it is going on right in front of them, or they are no better than the Stasi, the old east German secret police. They may be wearing leather sandals instead of jackboots but they still storm around people's houses, take their kids away and generally wreck people's lives on the flimsiest of evidence.
Social workers have a huge public image problem.
The government acknowledges this. It has now promised to launch a campaign to raise the profile of social care and social work. The government is being tight-lipped about the finer details of the campaign, but at least it is a start. Journalists are not interested in people doing their job well, especially if they are public servants. News, by its very nature, exaggerates the extraordinary and ignores the ordinary.
