How do you feel about child protection social workers taking off their lanyards and putting on their union pins to fight against professional regulation?

2013: Nancy Simone, a president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees local representing 275 workers at the Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Toronto, argued child protection workers already have levels of oversight that include unregistered unqualified workplace supervisors, family court judges, coroners’ inquests and annual case audits by the ministry and the union representing child protection workers is firmly opposed to ethical oversight from a professional college, and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, which regulates and funds child protection, is so far staying out of the fight.. Nancy Simone says, “Our work is already regulated to death.”

Regulation of child protection workers by Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers: CUPE responds.

Please send or adapt any of the following letters to the Executive Director of your CAS.

DRAFT Letter 2 – Professionalism

I understand that there are plans in the works to force anyone who works in child protection to register with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers.

One of the reasons given for this change is that regulation will result in higher quality services and bring greater professionalism to the field and that this will improve the standard of child protection work in Ontario.

I would like to point out that a failure to meet standards of care in child protection work is very rarely the result of professional misconduct, incompetence or incapacity on the part of individual child protection workers.

(ACCORDING TO WHO? THE CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY'S SECRET INTERNAL COMPLAINT PROCESS?)

The stated purpose of the College is to protect the public from unqualified, incompetent or unfit practitioners.

But children’s aid societies already set those standards and ensure their adherence: they determine the job qualifications. They deal with employees they deem to be unqualified or incompetent. And CASs decide whether child protection work in their area can be performed by someone who holds a Bachelor’s degree and has child welfare experience.

I may not hold a BSW or MSW degree, enjoy membership in the College or be subject to its regulation. But I am a professional practitioner in the child protection sector and, as such, I cannot countenance this move toward the regulation of the child protection workforce. I am resolved to fight it at every step of the way and instead campaign for the measures that will bring real benefits to at-risk youth, children and families.

Sincerely,

DRAFT Letter 6 – Privacy and discipline

The move toward a regulated child protection workforce in Ontario gives me cause for serious concern about my privacy as a child protection worker.

One of the rationalizations for registration and regulation with the College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers is the restoration of public confidence in Ontario’s child protection system.

But violating my rights to privacy and confidentiality will do nothing to achieve this goal.

What right to privacy?

A person employed by or acting as an agent for another person, private agency or government is not on their own time and have no right to privacy PERSONAL OR OTHERWISE.

Should the life of any child or future of any family ever depend on not having a bad corporate child protection social worker sent to their home?

Like a spoiled rotten kid the CAS has become accustomed to being unaccountable..

Without deterrents what prevents workers from being careless or callous?

Can you imagine if had teachers had a right to privacy that included how they treated their students or or if police had a right to privacy that included how they treated a suspect or if doctors had a right to privacy that covered the kinds of mistakes doctors make - good intentions or not?

Should the rights of the service provider to protect themselves come before the rights of the client or patient to protect themselves?

NOT ALL SOCIAL WORKERS ARE CREATED EQUAL.

FORMER ONTARIO MPP FRANK KLEES EXPLAINS "A DISTINCTION WITHOUT A DIFFERENCE." I'M NOT A SOCIAL WORKER, I'M A CHILD PROTECTION WORKER!

Listen as former MPP Frank Klees explains why the government has the only oversight of the children's aid and why the society shouldn't be regulated by the College of Social Work and why the government won't allow the Ombudsman or the Privacy Commissioner to investigate complaints or any other matters regarding the society.

All this sociopath did with this speech is explain how they were going to let the children's aid society get away with refusing professional regulation and public accountability.

Frank Klees (born March 6, 1951) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1995 to 2014. He was a cabinet minister in the government of Mike Harris.

What do you think?

Should Kim Morrow have remained in charge of a complaint about her own conduct? In this 34 minute recording Kim is looking for "creative ways" to handle Kelley's complaint. --

HOW DOES THE ONTARIO CAS COMPLAINT PROCESS ACTUALLY WORK?

https://youtu.be/vqMWTrI3T5Q?list=PLsYhw09i3If44rMBDuZQ0ztayzSQU35Fy

Kim Morrow, the now former director of service for FCSLLG felt no moral or ethical obligation to register with the college herself during her 30 plus years with the society who went ahead and filed a completely non-malicious and non-vindictive complaint about Kelley with the College.

Three Cops And A Social Worker... How A Pocket Dial Almost Ruined Lives

Author's Note:

The audio file attached resulted in three police officers pulling me and my husband out of our house around 7:30 Monday morning on April 27, 2015. When they didn't find anything, they made a report to CAS so they could try and search the home two days later.

The video is of a meeting with Family and Children's Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, which was set up after I sent in my complaint letter, which you can read following below.

Here's an "apology" letter now that doesn't really apologize, it actually blames us for everything they did wrong and it doesn't excuse the not so veiled threats to remove our children if we failed to cooperate fully without telling us of what we'd been accused of first - or for bringing my wife an I to court as part of their "investigative process" where at the same time this part of their claimed "investigative process" had not been concluded and without any determination of need the cas asked for the judge to order one year of supervision.

For two years Kelley worked and went to school full time studying in between and then delivered our fourth child a week before her first year exams, while I took care of the kids and it was this day that made it all totally worth it for me.. She graduated with a 3.97 in 2015. Kelley has been a registered social service worker in Ontario for a little over 3 years. 2019/02/13.

Why does the children's aid society have a problem with professional regulation?

The children's aid society claim if they were suddenly forced to obey the Social Work and Social Service Work Act, 1998, SO 1998 Ontario.ca - as many as 30% of their current workforce wouldn't be qualified to register with the college though others put the number closer to somewhere between 50 and 70% of their current workforce wouldn't be qualified to register at the time they were hired to work with children. The unionized workers claim these workers have in some cases decades of on the job experience who would lose their jobs which wouldn't be fair to them and screw the best interest of the child coming first despite all the damage they've already done with their godlike "special powers" they've become so accustomed to.

Powerful as God: The Children's Aid Societies of Ontario (2011) 1h 16 min | Documentary, Crime. 7.7/10.

Powerful As God - The Children's Aid Societies of Ontario is a documentary that delves into society's most controversial and secretive topics. The film navigates 'truth' by engaging twenty-six witnesses with diverse experiences into conversation. By facilitating a voice for individuals whose lives have been tragically affected, with observations and recommendations by experts who have worked directly with the agency (such as doctors, social workers and lawyers), the film reveals a child welfare system plagued by systemic and bureaucratic abuse that urgently requires public attention. Financed by tax dollars and wielding extraordinary power, the Children's Aid Society is deconstructed to reveal a broken system where employees have been heard to describe their influence over children and families to be as powerful as god.

The film, Powerful As God, won the MADA award (Children’s Issues) at Commffest Film Festival in Toronto, 2012.

The documentary screened at three festivals was released online (Blackout.ca), it was nationally broadcast on television during 2013, and received television, radio and newspaper media coverage.

Mary Ballantyne CEO of OACAS says, the next step is to have Ontario's estimated 5,160 child protection social workers registered and regulated by a professional college. Fifty-five per cent have a bachelor's (BSW) or master's degree in social work. A BSW is the minimum required to join the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, which is discussing the registration process with societies. Apr 03, 2016.

The Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (the College) regulates the practice of social work and social service work in Ontario in accordance with the Social Work and Social Service Work Act, 1998 and the regulations and bylaws made under that Act.

Mary Ballantyne, CEO of Ontario's Association of Children's Aid Societies academic credentials include and are limited to a Bachelor of Applied Science from the University of Guelph and a Masters of Industrial Relations – Human Resource Management from Queens University.

In January 2017, the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS) launched a revamped set of curriculum for Ontario’s child protection workers. The Child Welfare Pathway to Authorization Series is designed to be more responsive and better reflect the realities of child welfare work in Ontario using an anti-oppressive framework. New training will cover topics such as equity, human rights, and anti-racism.

Imagine that, an agency that has been called as "Powerful As God" needs anti-oppressive, anti-racist human rights training in an anti-oppressive framework and here I thought Canada's Constitution, Charter of Rights and Fundamental Justice was an anti-oppressive framework.

I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge pope and king and child protection social worker unlike other men and women, with a favorable presumption that they do no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way against holders of power...power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men and women are almost always bad, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority."

Not 100% Lord Acton

>>> Luckily, many CUPE members ((who were actually qualified when they were hired)) have protections against unilateral changes to work qualifications in their collective agreements. The report notes that at least seven collective agreements have language against mandatory professional regulation and the Provincial Discussion Table language ensures that any changes to qualifications are grandparented-in with no current staff affected. If the employers are moving forward with professional regulation, it’s likely they will bring this issue to the next round of collective bargaining so CUPE members will have to be prepared.

The report also notes that the “clearest path forward” would be for the provincial government to legislate the necessity of professional regulation, which would be an appallingly heavy-handed move.

AND DRAGGING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES THROUGH THE FAMILY COURTS WASN'T HEAVY-HANDED?
