Let me get this straight.
Sen. Pate was invited to tour the facility by MP #leahgazan, but not permitted to tour the inside??

Yeah, that's not #sus at all.

This facility looks like a #gulag. I worked with people with active addictions when I was a #socialworker. You can keep things safe in a dignified manner.

Hey everyone! I just posted a new blog! I want to discuss a crucial skill for social workers: Culture Humility. Why focus, focusing on achieving cultural confidence is minimizing, and why encompasses continuing education and self reflection is the true track to best practice.

It’s a catalyst for effectively building a stronger rapport. Read the full post here: https://sowkblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/surpassing-cultural-competence-why.html

When the #chief says the #cfs agreement with their own community has failed, things must be bad.

The #childwelfare system in #manitoba is horribly broken. I worked as a #socialworker in that system almost 20 years ago, and it sounds like nothing has improved. Sad.

AI project that saves Neath Port Talbot social workers 15 hours a week wins UK award

The council’s Digital and Adult Services teams were named winners of the Best Innovation or Demand Management Initiative at the 2025 Association for Public Service Excellence (APSE) Awards, held in Glasgow earlier this month.

Cutting admin, boosting care

The project has introduced AI tools to handle routine documentation and case recording, reducing the time social workers spend on admin by more than 15 hours a week.

Writing up case notes has been cut by an average of 7.5 hours per week.
Submitting case assessments is now around 8 hours faster.

Council leaders say the changes mean staff can focus on building relationships with residents and delivering higher‑quality assessments, rather than being tied up with paperwork.

“A testament to our teams”

Cllr Jo Hale, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Services & Health, said the award recognised the dedication of staff:

“By harnessing AI, we’re not just improving efficiency — we’re enhancing the quality of care and freeing up our staff to focus on supporting residents.”

Cllr Simon Knoyle, Cabinet Member for Finance, Performance and Social Justice, added:

“This is a fine example of the use of emerging technologies to make life better for our residents. I’m pleased our innovative approach has been recognised with this UK‑wide award.”

National recognition

The APSE Awards celebrate best practice in local government across the UK. Neath Port Talbot’s entry stood out for its practical impact on frontline services, with staff also reporting improvements in the accuracy of meeting notes and case records.

Seems I’m desperate enough to go to the media for help. Yes, the trapped woman in the article below is me.

I’ve tried every level of government and they simply won’t help.
- Please ask people if they have a spare room or somewhere to go. Maybe you have somewhere?
- Is anybody a #DisabilityAdvocate? #SocialWorker? Need help.

Please don’t give me contacts for domestic violence orgs. They don’t help disabled people with housing & only offer counselling. Also, that list of disability advocates going around for #Melbourne #Australia (where I am) is outdated - there aren’t any in my catchment. So I’m looking for volunteers with some background.

Thanks for reading

Is anyone a #SocialWorker who can help out there? I keep being referred to Orange Door no matter who I talk to but they don’t help #disabled with complex needs. I need to escape #abuse. I’m declining really fast.
Please. This place is literally killing me. 🙏
