still waiting

As a foster carer under investigation you learn to work within the system.

Now you might be more versed in normal life, where people might be accused of thing and then they are either charged or told they are in the clear.

Child protection, or career protection as many of us call it does not work like that.

The investigation gets done and you are cleared. No way you did what you are accused of.

Not guilty that's what they say in law.

In social care it's not that.

It's a letter that says; we didn't nail you. But we are still watching you.

Honestly, those are not the exact words but they mean that.

The letter is not here yet so we cannot take it forwards.

Today though was an OK day.

Lots done,

Me off interviewing.

Complete contrast to our link worker, treated like an equal. Or at least as someone with a brain.

Management off with no one son at an interview.

All got there in the end though.

It's a funny bit of life though.

The twins, my little children, finish school in a few weeks.

I am old - or at least getting there.
