Conversations from Conferences: Finding Hope in the Work

mardi 4 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:03:02

I recently attending 2 conferences that didn't feel like conferences at all. The Contextual Safeguarding Conference in Durham and the Trauma Informed Consultancy Services Conference in Manchester (mini celebration for events that take place outside of London!).

I wanted to share all my reflections with you, messy, unedited, reading from my notes and very clearly still on a high from being with likeminded people, learning and very much seeing hope in action.

If you wanted to go to the conferences and couldn't, listen to hear the highlights, and if you are feeling dejected or disillusioned, listen and borrow some hope from me.

I talk about this book:

The Cupboard That Changed My Career: Why Good Training Starts With How You Learn

lundi 20 octobre 2025 • Durée 22:49

This might be the most important episode I’ve ever shared.

It’s about a cupboard — but really, it’s about care, action, and what it means to truly learn as a social worker.

I tell the story of a messy cupboard in my first job, how clearing it shaped the way I’ve approached learning ever since, and why I believe training isn’t something you can just “do” to people.

If you’ve ever wondered what makes good social work training work, or why I care so deeply about The Social Work Collective Academy, this episode explains everything.

Your first allocated family: How to Stay Grounded, Confident, and Clear

mercredi 23 juillet 2025 • Durée 25:11

This is for you if you are a newly qualified social worker who has just been allocated their first family to work with. That stomach-drop moment? It's completely normal—and I'm here to walk you through it.

Inside this episode:

What to do immediately after seeing that first family in your inbox
How to process the nerves, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm
The simple but vital question to ask: what area of the law am I working under?
Why clear supervision is essential—and how to confidently ask for it
Steps to prepare for your first visit while staying relationship-focused
How your emotions impact the people you’re working with (and how to use that power positively)

I am sharing a behind the scenes insight to ASYE Core Skills Training and talk about The Social Work Collective Academy—a resource-packed space to support new social workers through every step of their first year.
