My SW and I went and had a cuppa after I had my bloods done (which by the way my gp just called and they are bad again. Sigh. It’s never ending! Just something else to add to my crummy day😩)
They had a meeting this morning about, my SW showed me the reply email from the manager in response to my letter. I don’t really remember what it said, but it did not answer any of my questions really… especially in response to all the research I did that clearly states from a trauma informed mental health perspective consistency and predictable is so vital. And he did not give any rationale around his decision.
‘Apparently’…. And I say that loosely cause I don’t know how this will work, but I can pick and choose who I want to have support me at appointments, and I can call whoever for a chat, but I’ll still have an allocated SW who will change every 3 months. If I want to chose to have my currently SW accompany me to appointment etc, will she even have time if she has her own other case load??? And if I chose her to do everything and to catch up with then what’s the point of my allocated SW when she does nothing really???
It just makes no bloody sense. 🤷🏼♀️
