Direct observation 2 of final placement completed ✅ really pleased with the feedback from family & PEL observing. Can’t believe I only have 1 observation left before hopefully qualifying 😬 #StudentSocialWorker#SWApprenticeship
Final day of year 2 complete. Only 45 teaching days left until we are qualified social workers 😬 (& 13 months of placement!) #StudentSocialWorker#SWApprenticeship
Visits with some young people this week have reminded me why I want to be a social worker. Sometimes this job/training can feel a lot and those reasons get lost. So feeling grateful for their reminders! #StudentSocialWorker#SWApprenticeship
Haven’t tweeted in ages; hello Twitter, still here! Student life just gets busy sometimes doesn’t it. Feel I’m settling into my final placement but FAST/child protection teams are a whirlwind. Lots of learning, questions, imposter syndrome and worrying too! #StudentSocialWorker
4/ Compassion is a manifestation of understanding. The very least we can do for parents and kids in this job is seek to understand why they behave the way they do.
Seek first to understand before then seeking to be understood!
Having a clear out of books that I have no longer use before moving.
Please message me if you’re interested in any and I will confirm the cost including postage 😊#StudentSocialWorker

One month out of 18 months done ✅ FAST/child protection is hard. This is always the type of social work I envisioned working in & I’m so happy to be back. But, the last 4 weeks have made me question whether I can actually manage this role #StudentSocialWorker#SWApprenticeship

Great way to start my final placement 😞 after two years avoiding Covid, it found me. I hate taking time off sick but feeling pretty rotten today. #StudentSocialWorker#SWApprenticeship
Feeling a little less grateful (although still excited) for endless solicitors paperwork this evening for house selling/purchasing😂 Any tips for a better juggle of final placement/assignments, personal life & sleep? Send them my way! #StudentSocialWorker#SWApprenticeship
First full day in the office for my new FAST placement. And I loved it! I really have missed children services even more than I realised. I know it won’t be long until I’m overwhelmed with the timeframes/workload but for now I’m feeling grateful to be back! #StudentSocialWorker
Said goodbye to the wonderful East Adults LD Team tonight. What a pleasure the last 12 months have been. One final day and then back to FAST Childrens on Monday! #StudentSocialWorker#SWApprenticeship
