Direct observation 2 of final placement completed ✅ really pleased with the feedback from family & PEL observing. Can’t believe I only have 1 observation left before hopefully qualifying 😬 #StudentSocialWorker #SWApprenticeship

[Norfolk Social Work Apprentice Graduate @SWApprentice77]

Final day of year 2 complete. Only 45 teaching days left until we are qualified social workers 😬 (& 13 months of placement!) #StudentSocialWorker #SWApprenticeship

@SociableSocialW Your work enables the social workers to be able to do that meaningfully too though. Good management/support/oversight makes all the difference. Have a lovely weekend!

Visits with some young people this week have reminded me why I want to be a social worker. Sometimes this job/training can feel a lot and those reasons get lost. So feeling grateful for their reminders! #StudentSocialWorker #SWApprenticeship

Haven’t tweeted in ages; hello Twitter, still here! Student life just gets busy sometimes doesn’t it. Feel I’m settling into my final placement but FAST/child protection teams are a whirlwind. Lots of learning, questions, imposter syndrome and worrying too! #StudentSocialWorker

4/ Compassion is a manifestation of understanding. The very least we can do for parents and kids in this job is seek to understand why they behave the way they do.

Seek first to understand before then seeking to be understood!

I would highly suggest everyone adds these books to their child’s book collection! And Grown ups, ya may learn something too!

[Norfolk Social Work Apprentice Graduate @SWApprentice77]

Having a clear out of books that I have no longer use before moving.
Please message me if you’re interested in any and I will confirm the cost including postage 😊#StudentSocialWorker

[Norfolk Social Work Apprentice Graduate @SWApprentice77]

@Jimbobmog Thank you 🧡 hadn’t even recognised the imposter syndrome!!

[Norfolk Social Work Apprentice Graduate @SWApprentice77]

One month out of 18 months done ✅ FAST/child protection is hard. This is always the type of social work I envisioned working in & I’m so happy to be back. But, the last 4 weeks have made me question whether I can actually manage this role #StudentSocialWorker #SWApprenticeship

@tracey3986 Thank you 🧡

[Norfolk Social Work Apprentice Graduate @SWApprentice77]

@Caustin131 And you’re smashing it lovely. It’s just a lot isn’t it. Looking forward to our catch up, let’s get a date confirmed with Candice 🧡
