In this episode of The Social Work Community Podcast, Kirsty Ayakwah catches up with Sharmeen Ziauddin about the episodes that launched the podcast in October 2023.

The first season included discussions on racism in the profession, the  impact of negative media coverage on social workers, the pros and cons of being a young social and if social workers should be on social media.

We also shared a moving interview with one social worker not only overcame adversity after moving to the UK as a refugee when he was just a young teen to securing a double win in the Social Worker of the Year Awards.

We find out which one resonated the most with social workers and share some insights into what we can expect from Season 2.

If you haven’t heard, we have a new community site called The Social Work Community. The platform offers a safe, positive space to share careers guidance, network with peers and exchange experiences of social work.
