just called out of hours social worker about my carers

im weel peed off right now. i got dragged into one of my carers plans to quite. i have no love loss for the manager and when i thought she was dumping on her i thought it was funny. she latched on to thats said she would do it at my house. ok this was thursday morning. today was ment to be that day. at the time she told me only one other client knew.
so friday my other carer comes in the afternoon having been once and says she has heard the R is quiting on monday. so because she knows i say yes she told me that too. nothing more. yesterday that carer had to leave early so one of the managers came. she tills me she has heard R is leaving as clients r worried what will happen with there care. so i told her what was going on and said to be happening today. i specifically asked her not to tell R who had told her. i told her the hole plan even the bit due to take place at my house.
this morning R turns up just after 7am id just woke up. saying u told them! i denied it at first but then told R everything as i was being blamed for telling them in the first place dispite that manager telling me she had known since thursday.
im pissed i was dragged into this but now im being lied about? well there stupidity is going to bit them back. u do not put me in the middle of ur **** and blame it all on me. i so want to call that manager and say what the !!!!! r u playing at. but she already knows im peed as i told R what she had said about putting a safeguarding inssue about her in and her never being able to get another care job. and R texted her from here to ask her y she was being told that.
i will not lie. and if u breach my confidence after being asked not to i will pass on what u said in its entirety.
so im waiting for the duty social worker to call. knowing full well this agency may well now refuse to work with me. great. nice weekend and start to the week. thanks for that so called carers.

Often useful to intervene . As an advocate and also some reassurance you need this is not your fault..
Can help with intermediary situations and problems. . I used them many times.
I know have been in similar with care teams, mental health teams .
You should not be alone. Dealing with this.
Always here to listen and be supportive anytime.
Keep in touch. Take care.

One point write down what you need to say to the advocate. Easy to give the advocate explaining everything. This is what happened what I need . Bullet points that are relevant.
One thing I have learnt .
Wish you well.
Take care.

she is writing to my care agency to remind them they agreed to keep boundries and client confidenciality and while they see the conserns as “old news” we would like asurance that this or any future breaches by their staff will not effect my care.
we r waiting to hear if iv got a new social worker or not. should know friday. then she will help with sorting a new assessment. and she will fight for my meds to be made sure i take rather than a dont forget ur meds comment.
thanks for asking chloe.
