Today as I said I am part of a team looking at child protection training for social workers.
Thing is I am a bit peturbed.
Child protection is central to what we do, but it's not about teaching people procedure.
It's about social work as part of a progressive restitutive system and broader concerns about the distribution of power within society.
Looking at how power in an individualized setting can be used for bad, but also recognizing how social work can be a tool of the repressive state apparatus. operating within a hegemony created around an acceptance of inequality as inevitable and unchangeable.
