| 12/3/25 | ![]() Christmas in social work: Boundaries, joy & the pressure we don’t talk about | In this episode, I’m talking honestly about Christmas – both as a person and as a social worker. I share my own complicated relationship with the festive season, from hypervigilant childhood Decembers to slowly reclaiming pockets of joy with my own children (yes, including my very extra homemade advent calendar). Then we look at Christmas in practice: how to protect your own energy in December, set realistic non-negotiables, and gently let go of the traditions and expectations that are stress... | 37m 01s | ||||||
| 11/18/25 | ![]() The Safeguarding Series: Why supervision for DSLs isn’t a ‘nice to have’ | In this episode, I’m talking directly to Designated Safeguarding Leads about supervision – what it is, what it isn’t, and why you absolutely need it in your role. I share three key things every DSL needs to know about supervision, including the difference between emotional containment and therapy, why you don’t need someone to “tell you what to do”, and why supervision won’t always feel comfortable (in the best possible way). If you’re a DSL with no supervision, or you’re n... | 21m 34s | ||||||
| 11/12/25 | ![]() What I told a stranger in the park and why it matters for your practice | In this week’s episode, I’m sharing a story that unfolded in my local park — one of those moments where instinct, practice experience, and humanity collided. After intervening in what appeared to be a domestically abusive situation, I walked away thinking about the one message every child, every adult, and every social worker needs to hear more often: “It’s not your fault.” In this episode, I talk about: • Why this message matters more than we realise • How systems, culture and u... | 33m 07s | ||||||
| 11/6/25 | ![]() Why Are We Doing This for Ofsted? Rethinking Organisational Culture in Social Work | Why are we still doing things for Ofsted? Why do we hear, “Make sure your case notes are up to date — for Ofsted”? In this episode, I explore how inspection culture shapes the way we work and how it can create fear instead of reflection. With grounded takeaways for directors, managers, and practitioners, this episode looks at how we can rebuild calm, confidence, and purpose within our organisations. Join me for the live Managing Ofsted, Regulation & Change masterclass free fo... | 31m 20s | ||||||
| 11/4/25 | ![]() Conversations from Conferences: Finding Hope in the Work | I recently attending 2 conferences that didn't feel like conferences at all. The Contextual Safeguarding Conference in Durham and the Trauma Informed Consultancy Services Conference in Manchester (mini celebration for events that take place outside of London!). I wanted to share all my reflections with you, messy, unedited, reading from my notes and very clearly still on a high from being with likeminded people, learning and very much seeing hope in action. If you wanted to go to the co... | 1h 04m 11s | ||||||
| 10/20/25 | ![]() The Cupboard That Changed My Career: Why Good Training Starts With How You Learn | This might be the most important episode I’ve ever shared. It’s about a cupboard — but really, it’s about care, action, and what it means to truly learn as a social worker. I tell the story of a messy cupboard in my first job, how clearing it shaped the way I’ve approached learning ever since, and why I believe training isn’t something you can just “do” to people. If you’ve ever wondered what makes good social work training work, or why I care so deeply about The Social Work Collective Academ... | 23m 59s | ||||||
| 9/30/25 | ![]() Building Confidence from Day 1: Lancashire Social Work Academy ASYE Induction | In this episode, I sit down with the Social Work Academy team at Lancashire County Council to talk about how they support newly qualified social workers during their ASYE year. We explore the induction process, the challenges new practitioners face, and the role of ongoing learning and reflective practice. I also share insights from my own contribution to their ASYE Induction Programme, where I deliver a dedicated session on communication skills — a cornerstone of effective social work practi... | 50m 26s | ||||||
| 9/22/25 | ![]() Starting in a New Social Work Team: Confidence, Connection & Holding Your Boundaries | Joining a new social work team can be exciting — and daunting. In this episode, I share practical tips for starting strong: how to remember you bring valuable life and learning experience, how to observe and learn from your team’s culture, and how to protect the work habits and boundaries that will help you thrive for years to come.

| 9/15/25 | ![]() How to Make the Most of Shadowing in Your ASYE Year | Shadowing is one of the best ways to build your confidence and skills as a new social worker — but only if you approach it the right way. In this episode, I share practical tips on how to ask to shadow without feeling like a nuisance, why being specific gets better results, how to observe actively (not passively), and why it’s essential to speak up if you’re not getting opportunities. Lets connect! To book in a free 15 minute chat with me, to talk about training, development, co... | 16m 26s | ||||||
| 9/8/25 | ![]() An Alternative Social Work Induction: Habits, Boundaries and Prep for Your ASYE Year | We talk a lot about skills in social work inductions — assessments, visits, meetings, communication — but there’s more to thriving in your ASYE than ticking off a skills checklist. In this episode, I share the “alternative induction”: the home-life habits, organisation tips, and support systems that will help you manage stress and set yourself up for success in your first year. Lets connect! To book in a free 15 minute chat with me, to talk about training, development, courses o... | 28m 43s | ||||||
| 9/1/25 | ![]() Slow Down: Change Takes Time in Social Work: How technology and unrealistic timescales shape the way we see progress | From postmodern art to AI, I’m exploring how technology warps our sense of speed — and why that matters in social work. In this episode, I share how unrealistic timescales harm families, shape new social workers’ expectations, and leave us feeling like we’re “not moving fast enough.” It’s a reminder that learning, change, and growth take time — and that’s okay. Lets connect! To book in a free 15 minute chat with me, to talk about training, development, courses or membership emai... | 14m 45s | ||||||
| 8/25/25 | ![]() ASYE Preparation: My Must-Read Books, Podcasts, and Resources | With so many books, podcasts, and resources out there for newly qualified social workers, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before you even start. In this episode, I’m sharing the essential recommendations I’d give if we were sitting down over a cuppa — the ones worth your time, money, and headspace in your ASYE year. From anti-racist practice to child protection wisdom, and from “messy” social work memoirs to self-care reads, these are the resources that will actually help you grow in confidence... | 39m 15s | ||||||
| 8/15/25 | ![]() 5 recent failures that I'm proud to share | After a two-and-a-half week break, I’m back on the podcast with an honest catch-up — and a list of my recent “failures.” From not getting shortlisted for an award to forgetting suncream, I’m sharing how reframing failure has been a game changer for me, both in social work and life. Whether you’re newly qualified or years into practice, this is your reminder that failing means you’ve tried — and that’s something to be proud of. Lets connect!

I’m taking you inside the Learning Hub — explaining how it works, the gaps it fills in early career training, and the practical tools that will help you feel both competent and confident from day one.
