A new website has been launched under the banner of ‘Children’s Social Work Matters’ and is the brainchild of a 14 council collaboration across the Yorkshire and Humber region of England. The sole purpose is to make more people aware of the work that these Children’s social workers do on a daily basis, get rid if the misconceptions and highlight the help that they give to suffering children often in extremely difficult circumstances.
A major campaign has also been launched to bring awareness to the website, and a hard hitting short video has also been released on lie to highlight the problems that these Children’s social workers deal with on a daily basis as they attempt to improve the often horrendous lives of these children who have done nothing wrong yet are being punished, abused and neglected every day of their young lives.
The simple yet thought provoking video highlights just some of the numerous issues that children are suffering from, and that the Children’s social workers have to deal with and eradicate in order for these young innocents to live a decent life. There are no pictures, just simple sentences informing us of these problems, such as abuse, neglect, and abandonment. Children shouldn’t suffer these atrocities and the role of a children’s social worker is a vital one.
The collaboration between the 14 councils has come together with t he sole aim of ensuring that the high standard of care these children need continues to improve and cases dealt with quicker. The job of the children’s social worker is not an easy one, and not one of those where you clock off at night and forget about it until the next day. These are dedicated individuals who work incredibly hard to make a difference, and this campaign rightly champions them.
