United Kingdom: ‘I didn’t become a social worker to feed reports into computers’ (Opinion)
Community Care – August 17, 2016
Before I qualified, I imagined my life as a social worker as long days spent out in the community helping families overcome barriers they were facing. I’d be putting the theory I learned at university into practice. I’d be working in a person-centred way. There’d be some paperwork every now and again, yes, but I could pop into the office for an hour or two each afternoon to catch up on that. I cringe at myself now for how green I was back then and for not realising that the reality of modern child protection (my chosen pathway) can be very, very different.
