Three quarters through the first episode of #kids and I think it's the most impressive representation of the challenges and privileges of being a social worker, and the most sensitive, thoughtful insight into the lives of young people unable to remain at home
The stories of six remarkable teenagers in care. Please watch #kids Wednesday at 9pm @Channel4 @MattJClayton @Child_Cov @coventryDCS

In this episode I speak with social worker and author, Rhian Taylor (@rhiantaylorkent) about her work, and her wonderful book, Fosterboy. A really thoughtful, insightful, and therapeutically minded practitioner whom I learned a lot speaking to. buzzsprout.com/2073535/12689…

Replying to @RichardDevineSW
When we understand the function of the parents behaviour we find the key to breaking the cycle of generational trauma spinning over and over again. The foundation of this means; helping that parent speak their truth and recognising what harmful survival mechanisms they employ.

Super🧵here from my very experienced social work colleague @RichardDevineSW about why it is not helpful to demonise or to 'other' a parent who has a child on a child protection plan👇 #safeguarding #childprotection #socialwork #camhs
1/8 A 🧵… As a child protection social worker you work with some of the most troubled, dangerous, vulnerable, victimised and traumatised members of our society. They have severe drug or alcohol problems, mental health issues and domestically violent relationships.

7/8 And even those that cause harm, also show their children love, affection and care. They often want them to have a better upbringing that they did.

8/8 The question is not therefore, how/why can’t you’ be a better parent… But, what are the psychological (past and present) and social barriers that get in the way of then being the type of parent they want to be (and are capable of being)?
