    by Mike Wardle How well does the degree prepare social workers for practice? Two years on since it produced its first graduates, the degree is in the spotlight. A series of regional visits is being organised by the Department of Health and the Department for Children, Schools and Families as part of...

  • Indulgence

    A completely self-serving and indulgent post if I can be forgiven, so I’ll keep it brief! It’s Sunday, it’s a holiday weekend and I’m fairly busy but I did get a letter yesterday from the university confirming that the portfolio for my Approved Social Worker (ASW) training course...

  • And on and on..

    Moving into the final stretch now and I’m wavering between feeling fairly confident and feeling completely incapable of finishing off the work. I think I’ve got things in hand more or less - but then I worry about the pieces that I haven’t done yet and how long they’ll take. I’m...

  • Re: Kinship Carers

    Sorry I have read and unable to quote the bit I wish to use, but how old is the grandmother? and how many children did she have placed with her? I feel its amazing to be told to go out and get a job, and if there is a disability involved also then I would say trying to get a job is almost impossible...

  • Re: dodgy placements

    I would not call them dodgy placements, placement in school is relevant to their course and students can meet their requirements on a placement of this type. In fact it is very good first placement as it gives them the opportunity to do a lot of direct work with children and families ie, one to one,...
