Many people this week will have read about the devastatingly sad death of this young boy. It’s tough reading. It’s also become a predictable event that when a child known to social services dies in tragic circumstances, blame is directed at social workers. In my experience, social workers are incredible human beings who are doing their upmost best to try to improve outcomes for the most vulnerable in society, in a woefully under-funded and over-stretched service. I recommend this article as a piece to balance out some of the recent reporting in the mainstream media. And I’ll add that if we as a nation really want to protect the most vulnerable in our society, improve outcomes, then we need greater funding for children’s services and recognition of the hard, complex job that social workers do day in, day out.

Happy International Social work Day! As a social worker, we play such an important role in making a positive impact on people's lives. Social work is such a vital field that focuses on helping individuals, families, and communities thrive. It's all about supporting and empowering people to overcome challenges and improve their well-being. As a social worker, I have the opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives and advocate for social justice. It's a rewarding profession that requires empathy, compassion, and a strong commitment to helping others. #nigeriansocialworker #iswd2024 #nasowlagos #ofcoursechallenge #sharedfuturefortransformativechange

An interesting article on the tragic passing of this little boy.

This social worker gives a powerful account of how supervision helped them to manage their feelings of dislike towards a child. Acknowledging the feelings was the first step to building an understanding of the trauma behind the child's behaviour. We need to take the same approach when we find we dislike an adult. Talk over your feelings in supervision. Parents' trauma affects their behaviour and their parenting. Only by understanding can we affect change.

No one ever said being a social worker was easy… Being a social worker is showing up day after day without appreciation to assist others in times of crisis. It’s full of chaos which we help our clients navigate, linking them to needed community resources so they can get back on their feet. It’s having the hard conversations no one else wants to have and advocating for our clients even when we are picked apart for doing so. It’s being there and being a caring human with another human and showing our clients they don’t have to do it alone. It’s having the same conversation with our client 82 times before it clicks for them without judgement. It’s about being that one person who didn’t give up on them when the rest of the world did. It’s being there without intent. And one day, our clients move on. We may never get to see if they were successful or be thanked for all our efforts, but we welcome a new client in their absence with one question, “how can I help?” We start the process over and over again, because each person, each family, each support person/caregiver should be able to have help navigating through life’s chaos with dignity and without judgement. What is your why? #socialworker
