We’ll report on Monday, if given permission, on a hearing of potential significance for all professional regulators and the social work profession.

It's the fitness to practice review hearing concerning the appeal by a gender critical social worker against SWE.

#OpenJustice
Following a disciplinary hearing, the social worker was issued a warning by @SocialWorkEng for “offensive” Facebook posts about Mermaids and “gender identity” policies on her private FB page.

SWE will not defend its position so the hearing has been reduced from 5 to 2 days.
See more in this statement from @ebswa.

"The official warning followed a complaint by a single person that posts by the social worker on her private Facebook page were ‘offensive’ and ‘disgusting’ because they criticised the concept of gender identity." ebswa.org/post/social-wo…
There is no statement from SWE, regulatory body governing social work, on this case.

We will also report on the crowdfunded Employment Tribunal brought by the same social worker against her employer, Westminster City Council and SWE which starts 1 December 2022.
