Three months of near hell
Three months ago, my son made an inappropriate comment at school. He is 5, and was playing in the playground with other little children. Someone over heard the comment, and reported it to someone else who reported it to the teacher, and then she reported it to DCP. They went to the school and interviewed my son, and then came and saw me the next day. I did not hear anything from the school. Three weeks later he was put in a room with two police officers for two hours, and then DCP asked to interview my other son. I told them they could if they allowed a responsible person in with them.

Hi all,
As you may know we are working on getting the new association up and running, thing don't happen over night unfortunately, however we need to get it right, the naming of the new association isn’t without it’s problems as a lot of name combinations are taken so our choice will be limited, email me if you come up with a name we can use that describes what we represent.
We are planning to hold the inaugural meeting in Toowoomba early in Nov this is yet to be confirmed, I will post it on this site as the information comes to hand.

Devil's Advocate
We have three major social services: Health, education and welfare. In all three, the demands of the job are becoming harder, and burn-out within the first few years is increasingly common.
The most difficult, the worst paid and the least appreciated is being a social worker.
To a large extent it is the social worker's own fault - they are the least professionalised and the least unionised.
