Your first allocated family: How to Stay Grounded, Confident, and Clear
Description
This is for you if you are a newly qualified social worker who has just been allocated their first family to work with. That stomach-drop moment? It's completely normal—and I'm here to walk you through it.
Inside this episode:
- What to do immediately after seeing that first family in your inbox
- How to process the nerves, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm
- The simple but vital question to ask: what area of the law am I working under?
- Why clear supervision is essential—and how to confidently ask for it
- Steps to prepare for your first visit while staying relationship-focused
- How your emotions impact the people you’re working with (and how to use that power positively)
I am sharing a behind the scenes insight to ASYE Core Skills Training and talk about The Social Work Collective Academy—a resource-packed space to support new social workers through every step of their first year.
