Messy Social Work

Rich and Tim speak to Charlotte Clark (Child Protection Social Worker) about trust, power and relationships

Messy Social Work

Rich and Tim sit down with Charlotte Clark, a practising frontline child protection social worker, to explore what it means to build trust in contexts where distrust runs deep. From navigating statutory power dynamics to managing conflict under intense pressure, Charlotte shares insights from her early career journey, reporting from the frontline and reflects on the relational skills that matter most.
