UNISON welcomes Brandon Muir reports
UNISON, representing Scotland’s social work staff, has
welcomed the two reports into the Brandon Muir case in Dundee.
Rory Malone, Dundee UNISON Branch Secretary said; “At a
time when some press and politicians appear to queue up
to blame social work staff each time a family tragedy like
this occurs, we welcome the findings of these independent
and authoritative reports that no blame falls on members
in Social Work.
“Dundee’s social care staff work very hard, often in difficult
circumstances, to try and protect our children and all feel
tragedies like this deeply.
“It is simply not possible to eradicate all risks, but
UNISON has gone on record to identify a range of steps that
can be taken to improve the position of social work staff
and reduce that risk.”
UNISON has already started work with Dundee City Council
to address some of the issues in social work and will continue
to discuss ways to implement recommendations in the report.
