As you may remember largely due to lockdowns my son has not managed to take a driving test, which in itself is a bit of a first,world problem. However, he’s a social worker in deepest darkest Suffolk, and getting to see his clients is impossible without personal transport, so I’m currently his driver. It’s a pain, but it’s necessary.
As we spend so much time together we talk about his cases in general terms, ie no names, and I never drop him of outside his clients houses, so no addresses either. It amazes me the variety of issues, and the social breadth of his client base. But the decisions he has to make, the impact he can have on people’s lives, and the hours he has to put in
I don’t know about doing his job for a gold clock, I wouldn’t go near it for St Stephens tower in solid gold! He obviously gets his compassion from his mother.
It’s good to see that nice Mr Sunak is saving him from drinking too much though, by denying all public workers a pay rise this year.
