I recently came across this great article from Community Care in the UK through a post by the amazing Teenage Whisperer, Sam Ross. Sam reminds us that good supervision and support to reflect on the work is of extreme importance… something that as a social work student and youth worker in Australia we seem to lack as well.
Check out the post from Community Care here: ‘I was told I wouldn’t have time for reflective practice when I qualified as a social worker’
