On C4 this evening Dispatches brings you:"Undercover Social Worker: An undercover reporter discovers evidence of a lack of resources, inadequate staff support and training, poor morale, excessive workloads and overwhelming amounts of red tape..."
But its OK because Millionaire Dave is prepared to make the "difficult decisions" on pay, pensions and benefits. Apparently dealing with the deficit, caused by the financial crisis and the banks remember, will affect "our whole way of life".
I can't imagine that any decision Millionaire Dave takes regarding funding in the public sector is ever going to affect his way of life. I'd be surprised if he ever needs social services in quite the same way as Baby P for instance but you never know...
Still, as long as he can blame public spending and the government budget inherited from Labour then he and his millionaire banking buddies will have a scapegoat. It's all you civil servants that have bought this country to its knees don't you know?
So, lots more government departments can look forward to a future of "a lack of resources, inadequate staff support and training, poor morale, excessive workloads and overwhelming amounts of red tape" whilst being told they are the problem with their unreasonable expectations of pay in line with inflation, pensions and other luxury perks. They should be coming to work for nothing and be grateful for it!
Government and public departments soon to resemble the private sector then.

I watched that Dispatches, it annoyed me because a lot of the staff and the main bloke were fannies, I've done that work and you just have to get on with it.
Of course, I want better funding for Social Services but I found that documentary not very representative.
Hi, nice blog & good post. You have beautifully maintained it, you must try this website which really helps to increase your traffic. hope u have a wonderful day & awaiting for more new post. Keep Blogging!
@ Daniel - I didn't watch it myself. I was more interested in the generic workplace description beginning "a lack of resources..." as I thought that could probably be applied anywhere. We all know the cuts are coming, its the knock-on effect and reaction we have yet to see. And any comment where people are described as "fannies" is always welcome :)
@ Lydia - I'm not convinced you're not an elaborate spam bot so forgive me if this is terse, you're off-topic and I need more traffic because....?
