I found this and thought it may be beneficial for those of you dealing with less than professional Social Workers. Some of the comments you are being subjected to seem to fall under this:

Conflicts of interest

Standard 1.7, 2.3, 2.7, 3.1, 5.2 and 5.4

It is important that social workers demonstrate self-awareness and that they acknowledge their own personal values, views, interests and beliefs. They should take steps to make sure that personal opinions do not impact the people they are working with, nor affect the support they provide to people. Conflicts of interest can occur when a social worker does not take steps to ensure the impartiality of their work.

The professional standards section makes interesting reading too. Perhaps being able to reference certain points in your communication may stop some of the bias x
