Social Work - What is it? 

It is positive that your are shining a positive light on what the role entails, it is often left to those who are removed from the professional and or the media to explain to the public what their interpretation of SW is. Unfortunately despite the best intentions of SW’s without the proper investment into training, resources, staff retention and pay the profession will continue to struggle which in turn means children and families remain in vulnerable positions. It is impossible to eradicate all abuse in the same way it is impossible to eradicate all crime but not funding services to reduce these issues certainly does not help and when a SCR is published the areas of learning typically read the same which can only reflect those in charge know what needs to be addressed yet do not do what needs to be done. We are in an unprecedented age with social media being one of if not the most significant influence on young people which has is pros and cons but cons can include (amongst other things) county lines, CCE, CSE, mental health issues etc parents struggling and or feeling unable to maintain order at home leading to breakdowns which then leads to further issues for the child and their family, there was a time in the 70s/80s I believe where radical SW was proposed a complete overhaul in terms of how the profession functions it would seem there needs to be an overhaul now given the current circumstances.
