The Care Leaders's Podcast
Why Children Keep Changing Social Workers
In this episode, we explore the complex world of social work relationships and the reasons why children often experience changes in their social workers.
Luke shares a poignant personal story of his own experience as a looked-after child and how his first social worker's departure left a lasting impression.
The hosts explore the various factors that lead to social worker changes, such as organisational restructures and job turnover, and how these shifts can impact the stability and permanence that young people in care desperately need.
They also discuss the challenges social workers face in balancing the pursuit of stability with the reality of a fragile and ever-changing system.
Tune in to discover the importance of radical honesty in building relationships with young people, acknowledging the inherent instability within the system, and creating a space where genuine connections can flourish.
Join Luke and Karylle in this thought-provoking conversation that highlights the need for open discussions about endings and the evolving role of social workers in today's ever-changing landscape.
Note: This episode is a part of a series that aims to shed light on critical issues within the children social care profession and the lives of those involved in the care system.
