Show Notes

Welcome to Frontline’s podcast, where I’ll be chatting to social workers and sector experts about the key topics impacting them and the children and families they support. We’ll also share reflections and takeaways along the way, so you can continue to learn from other professionals to do your best work with children and families.

My name is Hannah and I work at the social work charity Frontline as a principal practice tutor. Since qualifying as a social worker, I’ve worked both in the voluntary and statutory sector in multiple settings including hospitals, criminal justice social work and child protection teams.

For me, social work should be about social justice, and I am constantly finding inspiration from fellow social workers, service users, experts by experience and community activists - this is one of the reasons why I’m very excited to be facilitating discussion on this podcast! 

In this episode, I talk to four guests about how to drive social change through activism, policy and practice.
