  • It's emotionally challenging

  • I think it can be quite hard having to

  • hear the stuff that you hear

  • or talking to people and finding out their experiences

  • the challenges to being a social worker

  • it depends on what area of work you're in

  • but from my experience it's being able to deliver

  • what you want to deliver in the time that you have

  • and the money you have to do it so it's

  • time contingent and also financially contingent

  • there's not enough money around to actually

  • facilitate what you want to do

  • we're managing different people's needs

  • so my focus is on the child but I'm also working with

  • with adults, with other professionals

  • and it can be very very difficult trying to manage

  • everybody's needs but still stay focused

  • on what I need to be doing

  • we are going to meet service users

  • who may not want us there

  • who aren't going to welcome us with open arms

  • even though we come with good intentions

  • it is their life and to them we are

  • seen as invading their privacy

  • invading their lives so I think

  • that's the most difficult thing that we are going to meet

  • I think the main one for me was that

  • people normally say we're children snatchers

  • that we go to people's doors and

  • take their children away with no reason

  • obviously that is not the profession we are in

  • I think a massive one also is that we are facing

  • so many cuts in social care that people are worried

  • that they're going to come into the profession

  • and maybe not be able to get work

  • or be stigmatised for that

  • you kind of don't know what's coming a lot of the time

  • so you could think you've got a week

  • where you've got time to get things done

  • and then different things come up

  • meaning you suddenly can't do what you've got planned

  • so that's one of them

  • people have a negative perception of social workers

  • that's incredibly difficult at times

  • so they expect us to be a certain way

  • and forget that we're just people

  • obviously it's challenging in other ways

  • that are more personal, you could be

  • dealing with situations that have resonance for you

  • as an individual that you might find challenging

  • and you have to be able to leave those feelings

  • on the shelf, you can't bring those with you

  • and that on an individual basis is extremely challenging

  • but I think the main challenges for social workers in general

  • is working within a very limited budget

  • on a very limited time scale

  • in a very regimented career

  • it's a lot of paperwork, it's a lot of bureaucracy

  • we are given less and less

  • each team meeting I attend we're told that

  • we're having something else taken away from us

  • but we're still expected to do the same job and I think

  • you end up putting a lot of your own time into the job

  • because you want to make sure that you still see

  • the people that you're actually supporting

  • but then you still have to scramble to make sure

  • that you're staying up-to-date in the statutory guidelines

  • so that the paperwork and the level that you're expected

  • to do is a challenge but I think you just have to

  • look after yourself and be as organised as you can

  • to keep your head above above water really

It's emotionally challenging
