Should social workers view the social media of service users?
Welcome to Learn on the go, a Community Care Inform podcast where we discuss what the latest research, practice models and policy guidance mean to your practice.
In this episode, we discuss social work and social media.
The experts are Claudia Megele, chair of the principal social worker network, and Jenny Simpson, head of social work (England) at the Open University.
2:49 – 8:00: Jenny and Claudia define the key social media networks and who they appeal to, including Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram.
8:24 – 27:00: Jenny and Claudia discuss the ethical and legal issues of accessing service users’ social media, relationship-based working and the importance of consent.
