“Sometimes with this job there are late nights and unpredictable situations, but we recognise that our social workers have families too, we want them to be there for own children too and get to go to those really important life events like school plays.”
“It’s important to strike that balance of recognising the difficult job we do and actually ensuring that doing it does not come at the cost of practitioners’ own home life.”
