Enhancing Your Knowledge in Social Work Practice | Tips & Strategies
Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel!
In today's video, I'm sharing my top strategies for enhancing your knowledge in social work practice without taking extra time off. Inspired by a colleague who planned to spend some of her summer break reading up on social work topics, I realised that I've gained substantial knowledge through various methods during work hours.
In this video, I cover:
Going directly to the source of information, like the code of practice and legislation.
Utilising reliable sources such as Essex Chambers for guidance on case law.
Passive learning through email notifications from Community Care and other reputable sources.
Broadening your horizons with training sessions from local charities.
The benefits of networking and reflective opportunities during mandatory training.
Diversifying your experience by working in different teams within statutory services.
Continuing professional development through additional training, such as becoming a Best Interest Assessor and a Practice Educator.
Using secondary sources effectively to build and apply theoretical knowledge.
Prioritising your development for personal growth and career progression.
Whether you're new to social work or looking to enhance your existing skills, these tips will help you stay informed and inspired in your practice.

Hi Kayleigh, I've worked very hard on my Access course to achieved all top grades; hold a strong personal statment and experience regarding Social Work/ Health and Social Care and worked my head off for the three stage interview and passed it. My heart morosed through acknowledging only one thing within the job role and deacription, is that I have drive as part of this profession. There is no support regarding disability and mental health which hinders me to drive, due to this profession becoming a community workbased. I have been neglecting it. My dreams have shattered! I've ended up choosing to study law and become a solicetor. I've had a strong passion and interest in Social Work but it all happens for a reason. Maybe god created a different destination for me.

Hi that's such a shame not to go into social work when you've worked so hard for it. I don't know if it's any help now but I do know some social workers who don't drive. I work in a hospital so wouldn't necessarily need to drive for that. Although, law is also a brilliant route you can massively help people in so I wish you all the absolute best in your endeavours ☺️

@@KayleighRoseEvans Nothing has gone to waste if Social work was not the option for me. Becoming a solicetor is still another way of supporting vulnerable clients who have been ripped off or robbed into a contract. So I have nothing to lose. Law is above and beyond Social work, when your supporting service users within Social Work, your still working around laws. The majority of social work careers involve driving licence and it's more community effective. Not being able to drive is not worth of getting in debt for £50,000 for this degree, when options are limited. Thank you for your warm wishes and wish you best of luck for the future with all bright colours in the sky! 😃

Great video and useful tips☺️. I completely agree and found that I was more confident in my role as I increased my knowledge. I've also been lucky to have worked with some very knowledgeable colleagues over the years and have found that so helpful too xx

@KayleighRoseEvans 3 месяца назад

currently I am trying to get employed in England but finding it difficult. I am registered but limited experience.

@KayleighRoseEvans 2 месяца назад

Hi some people decide to just get in a local authority and take a role such as an unqualified social worker post to gain experience then go from there with applying for an internal social work post when one comes up. That depends on whether you could afford that financial hit though. X

@Elizabethewr 2 месяца назад

@@KayleighRoseEvans what do you mean unqualified? I cannot do support or care work is there any other unqualified work? I have to work as a social worker to get registered in Southern Ireland.

@@Elizabethewr Hayleigh, is right. Just a job as an admin or support worker for a local authority, then work your way up.

@KayleighRoseEvans 2 месяца назад

@@Elizabethewr So in councils they have roles where people are doing lower level social work but these people are not trained social workers. In my local authority they are called case assessors. However, if you have to work as a social worker in order to get registered in Ireland that would be a sticking point, sorry.

I can't do support work because issue with manual handling and personal care. I have checked for assessor role but none in Manchester. I have only moved to Manchester last Saturday.
