Couldn’t agree more! Difficult for social workers to provide containment, care and compassion when they are burnt-out, depleted and overwhelmed. Lots for us to do to improve our profession for us all! 💛

This is just the kind of research informed insights into social work and child protection that is needed, showing the resourceful, caring, loving, mutually supportive friendships that nourish and sustain individuals, teams and the profession

Have just joined Bluesky! I’m a social work academic in Ireland, with a particular interest in the lived experience of refugee populations, especially separated children, and in anti-racism in social work (and beyond).

Social work colleagues are filtering across to Bluesky I made an ‘Ireland / NI Social Work’ starter pack for people and organisations doing interesting things on our island. DM me and I’ll add you. If colleagues could re-post that would be great ❤️☘️ go.bsky.app/sb2w3t

If you’re committed to compassion, empathy and relationship-centred practice/services then we think you’ll love the SWAG. We also teach social workers to have self-compassion, boundaries and confidence. Always looking to connect with and collaborate with leaders in this space 💛 #socialwork

Would you be kind enough to add in @theswag.bsky.social as well 😊

Love this Andrew - very much the same for me too 😂 Helps us to reframe these unhelpful and stigmatising phrases we always hear in social work like ‘disguised compliance’

Jason Barnes @jasonbarnes.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Hello Becca! Great to see you. Yes please. Would love to do a ‘live’ with you or something on TikTok/Insta some time for the social work action group. On our shared passion of relational practice!

How would you feel? Let’s show grace, empathy and compassion to parents and families always. Life is often more complex and nuanced than it first appears. Let’s demonstrate what compassionate and person-centred social work really is. Share your thoughts below 👇
