I would suspect a group of social workers would have the discernment between them to decipher the truth. In my experience people always tell the truth when they realise the gravity of such events. I think it would be far from a simple matter to pull such a stunt and there would be a recognisable history of cause for the people to do so. I would wager such people would be made very well aware what would befall them if it came to be known they had made such a claim. People do some stupid stuff sometimes but not this kind of stuff. You don't risk your entire future to get someone get kicked off a social work course - if you really don't like them let them carry on!

surely it would just be "here pee in this pot"
you cant kick someone out based on students gossip.

Why did you wife need to open her mouth and grass her up anyway? I bet at least half of the members on this forum have tried some sort of drug, it's a common thing now a days and so easy to get hold of. I don't do cocaine myself but I know plenty of people who have tried it.
from the updated info this seems less "uni threatened to kick my wife out etc"
to
"one of the lectures told her its very serious and if it comes out she knew and didn't report it she could be kicked out"
and she took it as a "omg they're going to kick me out".

i never understood the appeal of coke really, although i find now im older (and tbh now im a lot happier in myself) most drugs including alcohol have pretty much lost any thrill/real enjoyment and they're just "meh" so dont take anything and hardly drink any more.
Because she has a professional duty to

They can do what they like in their free time, as long as they're not sniffing it on the job or off the desk in the Uni then I honestly don't see a problem with it.
No they can't.
They are a social worker at work and when not at work.
bad example:
When john from down the road gets done for drink driving they don't report him as John. They will say Off-duty policeman. They both have professional standards both at work and when off duty
depends really, if its a habit then it could be costing them a lot of moeny/getting them in trouble and as the rochdale things showed a lot of people use drugs to make the children vulnerable, so i could see them using it to manipulate an addict social worker to give them information/warnings/to stop the child reporting things.
You need to come into the real world, try that on many jobs and you'll be sacked if you're found out.
For example any job working with heavy machinery with have a zero drugs policy.
It's only changed once from gscc to hcpc, the difference being that gscc used to maintain a register of students where as the hcpc does not, just qualified workers of multiple health and social care professionals. Oh and of course the price went up from like £40 to £80 a year to register which you have to pay two years in advance, lucky for me my employer will reimburse this but not all do
We're not talking your standard student here though, this is placement work under conditions that require CRB checking etc. so you can't compare it to your typical student party lifestyle, there are different standards expected
main reason for that though is (we have it too) is because unlike alcohol, there's no breathalyzer style test so they can only know if you've been on it in the past few weeks, so they have to blanket ban it to stop someone who was high on the job saying "oh it was from the weekend"
i used to test positive for heroin because of my painkillers lol, but they had it on record so it was fine.
was funny seeing the nurses face though before the other one came back and said "oh don't worry he'll be positive for opiates"

Yep, that's not how the vocational degrees with professional bodies work. You can get disciplined and kicked out for appearance alone in medical degrees.
Agreed...

Who said the student it taking it regularly? Maybe it was a one off. Maybe you need to come into the real world?... Did you know nearly 40 - 50% of people from 12 - 65 have tried recreational drugs at least once in their life.
And trying drugs has got to do with?
I've tried drugs, dies it mean I've taken them in my current job, no. A couple of hours if high is not worth your career which is likely to be 25+ a year for like 40 years.
Totally and utterly pointless statement.
Nope, it's you who needs to come into the real world.
She isn't a student, she is in a work environment, which like many will almost certainly have a zero drugs policy.
She isn't a standard student it's a social work course! They are very strict for good reason and it's made clear from day one! When I qualified we had people kicked off for what they put on Facebook
The same professional standards as qualified social workers are applied to students from the start

I'm sure he mentioned student at least 10 times in his original post. Surely they will do random drug tests on Social works?
She's a student doing a placment, so she is working.
