In this episode I speak with social worker and author, Rhian Taylor (@rhiantaylorkent) about her work, and her wonderful book, Fosterboy. A really thoughtful, insightful, and therapeutically minded practitioner whom I learned a lot speaking to. buzzsprout.com/2073535/12689…

Replying to @RichardDevineSW
When we understand the function of the parents behaviour we find the key to breaking the cycle of generational trauma spinning over and over again. The foundation of this means; helping that parent speak their truth and recognising what harmful survival mechanisms they employ.

Super🧵here from my very experienced social work colleague @RichardDevineSW about why it is not helpful to demonise or to 'other' a parent who has a child on a child protection plan👇 #safeguarding #childprotection #socialwork #camhs
Richard Devine@RichardDevineSW25 Apr 2023
1/8 A 🧵… As a child protection social worker you work with some of the most troubled, dangerous, vulnerable, victimised and traumatised members of our society. They have severe drug or alcohol problems, mental health issues and domestically violent relationships.

Highly recommend taking the time to listen to this - you'll learn, and be challenged to stop and think about how you approach putting children's voices at the centre of your social work practice

This week I interviewed Rob Tucker..one of the most impressive & inspiring social workers I have met. In my view, he is unparalleled in his knowledge, skill on communicating with children & has an infectious passion for the work. buzzsprout.com/2073535/12507…
