Absolutely Isobel.
Social services need to:
-Create environments of psychological safety for SWs
-Provide emotional support, containment and peer mentoring
-Embed compassionate leadership at every level. Leadership driven by relational outcomes and not spreadsheets

Exactly. So sad to see so many enthusiastic newly qualified social workers leaving the profession so soon- disappointed and disillusioned

For me, taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture helps us to understand the āwhyā of peopleās behaviours.
As social workers we need to understand actions that we see as āriskyā or āproblematicā.
Are these coping mechanisms? The result of trauma? Undiagnosed mental health issues? Important questions to consider so we can provide the right support š

Social workers, letās share our knowledge and insights with other practitioners ā
How do you ensure you practice with compassion and empathy
in situations of tension, disagreement or even in the face of abuse?
This is a challenge we all face in child safeguarding.

To Love is To Act
Trust building, shared understandings & intentions
Recognise & surface power
Open the spaces, inside and outside
The quality of the conversation is important
The co-construction of services is a force for change
We are the system

Iāve asked the Minister of Health to outline his plans and meetings with unions to address pay and working conditions for social workers.
Social workers play a vital role in safeguarding our communities across all sectors ā they deserve fair pay and safe working conditions.

Do you agree with Jason?
What ideas would you add to this list to help create change?

Too many parents experience social services as extremely damaging and negative.
Research shows many are scarred by our interventions and are left feeling judged and humiliated.
After 10 years in social work ā here are some of the best ways I think we can make change:

The thing about āchild povertyā is that it is poverty. A child lives in poverty because the significant adults in their lives live in poverty. Stop addressing child poverty as a distinct form of poverty. theguardian.com/commentisfreā¦

What a newly qualified social worker might think when approaching their manager with a question:
-Iām bothering them
-Theyāll think I donāt know what Iām doing
-They will criticise me
What Iām thinking as a social work manager:
-They trust me
-Iām so glad they feel they can approach me
-Theyāre asking all the right questions
As a NQSW never be afraid to ask for help. Itās normal and expected! š¤šÆ
