Councillor Jean Spray talks about social workers being in the back of the queue for resources compared with health and education (Letters, November 3).
In Brighton and Hove, we have suffered 21 years of systematic cuts and 20 social worker posts cut in 1999.
Perhaps she should talk more to front-line workers who now, in the wake of the latest tragic child death, have another £350,000 cut in resources to cope with.
This is not about tinkering with procedures and scapegoating social workers. It is about giving us the resources to do the job well.
