In this episode, recorded at the end of the summer holidays and clearly demonstrating a big overshare, I talk about our habits when it comes to asking from permission.

There is a huge shift from student to new social worker and without awareness we could end up in a place where we don't advocate for ourselves. 

If you are ready to get through your first year as a social worker with confidence and calm, The Social Work Collective is here to support you: 

-Monthly live masterclasses focused on social work skills for practice
-A CPD learning hub of bitesize resources to help you with the tasks you face as a children's social worker
-A private community and mentoring support to ensure you never feel alone on your social work journey

As a newly qualified social worker, it's important to read serious case reviews to learn and reflect on practice, but has anyone talked to you about the emotional impact of this.

Do you think about where you are when you are reading this information? The time of day? How this impacts your work? 

Listen to ensure that you are learning, reflecting and staying curious, whilst taking care of yourself and your wellbeing.
