  1. Post Munro:The Shape of Things to Come19th September 2011

  2. The way we think about families:- A debate still to be had - a postcode lottery - For better or for worse - Minimal state intervention - Families can change - And skilled, evidence based social work intervention can help facilitate that - Moving away from problems to solutions, from punishment to support - Acting early and acting fast

  3. The way we think about leadership and organisational functioning:- Paralysis and inertia- Too much focus on the machinery around practice- Culture eats strategy for breakfast (Allen, 2011)- Good ideas with brilliant application- The need for military precision- The power of junior bureaucrats - Doing deals v the dangers of compromise- The disgrace of inefficiency

  4. Doing things differently & effectively • Small is beautiful • A simple system for a complex task • Role generosity • Effort • Realistic optimism • A risk sensible system • The productivity of responsibility • Independence can generate an empty mind (Munro, 2011)

  5. Coming Back Down to Earth………. • Reclaiming Social Work – logical to its core • A whole system change • The dispensation authorities • - no quick fix • - devolved decision making (avoiding the bottle neck) • - demise of consistency • - the threshold for intervention and continuation (the timescales won’t do it for you) • - skilled and confident social workers • - case consultation • - capacity to undertake direct work (re-organisation of roles & expectations) • - reflective time • - managers who are capable and enabled to supervise • The anxiety generated and the role of leadership • Values, trust and professional ethics
