Many social workers practicing in the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VSCE) sector do not work alongside other social workers and may not have an opportunity to reflect on their practice with other Social Workers using social work frameworks.
The purpose of this Support Forum is to have a safe, positive, solution focussed and confidential space for social workers employed in the VSCE sector to meet their peers, provide support to each other and to discuss and explore issues that arise.
Student and newly qualified Social Workers face a deluge of challenges and pressures during a period of intense learning and challenge. On occasions they may feel isolated or not clear about who they can talk to or where they can seek support.
The purpose of the Forum is to have a safe, comfortable, positive and confidential space for student and newly qualified Social Workers to meet their peers, support each other and to share and explore ideas and experiences.
