[access-uk] Re: Casssettes in the post

Adrian, all I can say is that socialworkers do love whinging.

There may be good reason for a good chunk of this whinging.  hours are long 
and there is a lot of paperwork but I do wonder if part of a social worker's 
training is to be afraid of technology?

The socialworker uses the computer to input information and keep a track of 
records to save ploughing through paper files.  If someone writes to you 
saying they are being asked something by a database, you may want to raise 
the issue with the chief executive and while you are at it, suggest the 
social worker sections him/herself due to possible paranoid schizophrenia 
which could lead to self-harm or harm of others!

Cheers

Graham

in a shocking indicator of progress I did get an audio cd from the
inland revenue a few weeks ago, and braille copy of the same too.  but
my faith was restored when I had yet another lettre from the local
social services in ink print saying that their database has asked them
for my GP details which they don't seem to have on file - when will they
get it in to their heads that who my doctor is isn't any of their
business, that databases aren't capable of asking questions, and that
until they write to me in a format I can read they are unlikely to get a
reply, or not of  the nature they would appreciate anyway. tossers.

Hi there.

Does anyone else still get cassettes through the post periodicaly giving
government information, Marks and Spencer catalogue, and the like?

I got another one today. But I don't have a cassette recorder any more
to play them on. Not that I ever would have done in the first place I
hasten to add. But they now seem doubly redundant.
