Why you need to stop asking for permissi...

Vicki: Social Work Sorted
About this episode

In this episode, recorded at the end of the summer holidays and clearly demonstrating a big overshare, I talk about our habits when it comes to asking from permission.

There is a huge shift from student to new social worker and without awareness we could end up in a place where we don't advocate for ourselves. 

If you are ready to get through your first year as a social worker with confidence and calm, The Social Work Collective is here to support you: 

-Monthly live masterclasses focused on social work skills for practice
-A CPD learning hub of bitesize resources to help you with the tasks you face as a children's social worker
-A private community and mentoring support to ensure you never feel alone on your social work journey 

Join between 9th - 15th September:

If you are listening after 15th September then head to the website to join the waiting list when places open up again in December:
