Social work theory, models, methods approaches explained
Thank you Kayleigh. Very informative 😊
Brilliant thanks for your ongoing support of the channel 😍
@KayleighRoseEvans kayleigh I have a question, was hoping you can help. If an adult decides to stay in risky situations how would a third sector agency/ organisation deal with that?
Hi it really depends on the situation but generally if there is a safeguarding concern it would be raised with the local authority.
@KayleighRoseEvans thank you Kayleigh 😊
Loved this. Really informative ❤
That's great 😍
Hi kayleigh. I'm currently in my 2nd year of social work and I was really struggling with how to best approach case studies and what steps we'd take. This has been more insightful that some of the teachings I have had 😅 thank you for doing a collaboration with Alshad. He explains things in a very clear way. ❤ I would love if you could do more case study examples and holistic 🙏 approaches
Hi that's really great to hear! I will see if I can get any other great practitioners to do some case studies with me 😃
i'm looking to get more support & your videos are very helpful to know what to expect, thank you
That's brilliant. Glad they have been helpful 😊
Please help me with overcoming anxiety
Hey do you have anxiety around anything in particular?
Thanks Kayleigh for yet another helpful video.
So pleased to hear this 😄
Very informative. Much appreciated 0:51 0:53
Brilliant 😍
Hi kayleigh this really helped me
That's brilliant thanks for letting me know!
Thank you so much Kayleigh for taking your time to make this videos, they are super helpful! Would you also be able to make a video on the different teams in adult social work and their pros and cons, I am at the point of deciding which team I want to go into, but I am still not sure yet, which maybe partly due to me not fully understanding what exactly each team does. That will be super helpful! Thank you so much x
Hi thanks so much. So glad to hear they are helpful. It really helps motivate me to keep going! Yeah that sounds like a really good video topic. I will do that soon! X
@@KayleighRoseEvans That will be great, Thank you !! xx
What law book do you refer to?
www.whsmith.co.uk/products/social-work-law-5th-new-edition/alison-brammer/paperback/9781292244167.html
OH WOW!
My first year was ok. I was so bad at referencing and had to do 3 resubs. I passed all of them luckily and now onto second year. Hoping to do so much better this year
@@lucyrose4318 what uni are you at? I’m so worried about writing essays are they really hard? X
@@toniwilliams7193 I’m at Plymouth and you just need to reference as much as you can. Argue both sides. So critical analysis. Don’t woffle and not to descriptive. I go off on a tandem and also don’t use words like “don’t” and “shouldn’t”. They prefer “do not” and “should not”
@@lucyrose4318 thanks so much, this is really helpful. How long do you get for each assignment? X
@@toniwilliams7193 it really depends. I had about a month or 2 and then it came to April and I had to do 2 essays in one month along with placement so it really wraps up towards the end so use your time wisely xx
Hey the first year is more of a practice I think ! Good luck 🤞
Great job, Kayleigh. Some complex stuff, effectively broken down.
Hi thanks a lot. Always means a lot coming from you !! 😄
Thank you Kayleigh! Really helpful to relate it to a case study 😊
That's good. I started thinking maybe I should do more of these case study ones and pull bits of knowledge in :)
This has been helping me a lot with my interview preparation because I do not have anyone to discuss.
That's brilliant to know they are helping :)
@@KayleighRoseEvans I got interviews but even as an assessor after many many applications.
Thank you
Well structured scenario based video. It really is helpful. Appreciated
Brilliant to hear thanks 👍
Wonderful, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
No problem. It's always really nice to have positive feedback 😊
I have an issue where im studying my degree in social and community, and out of the 13 on my course, im the only male. Everyone on my course is lovely, but i still battle in my own mind, i quit bout 20 times in my first year 😂
Hi ahh you are totally outnumbered there. That must be difficult! I have heard this from other men in social work practice and training. You are much needed in practice so hang in there. 👍🤞☺️
Do social workers help advocate for adult children who live with their parents because of disability or otherwise? I'm confused.
Hi social workers work with families, adults and children in various scenarios. Often a key part of the role is ensuring people's rights are upheld. So for example, if a parent is not letting a young person have any freedoms simply because they have a disability the social worker may advocate for them to have more choice and control. Same if they are an adult.
Simply analyzed and educative thanks Kayleigh
Pleased you thought so thanks for your support 😁
I appreciate ur transparency and you sharing this information ❤
Aw good thank you 🙂
Yes you have gained more knowledge without a doubt
Ahh thank you !! 😊
currently I am trying to get employed in England but finding it difficult. I am registered but limited experience.
Hi some people decide to just get in a local authority and take a role such as an unqualified social worker post to gain experience then go from there with applying for an internal social work post when one comes up. That depends on whether you could afford that financial hit though. X
@@KayleighRoseEvans what do you mean unqualified? I cannot do support or care work is there any other unqualified work? I have to work as a social worker to get registered in Southern Ireland.
@@Elizabethewr Hayleigh, is right. Just a job as an admin or support worker for a local authority, then work your way up.
@@Elizabethewr So in councils they have roles where people are doing lower level social work but these people are not trained social workers. In my local authority they are called case assessors. However, if you have to work as a social worker in order to get registered in Ireland that would be a sticking point, sorry.
I can't do support work because issue with manual handling and personal care. I have checked for assessor role but none in Manchester. I have only moved to Manchester last Saturday.
Hi Kayleigh, I've worked very hard on my Access course to achieved all top grades; hold a strong personal statment and experience regarding Social Work/ Health and Social Care and worked my head off for the three stage interview and passed it. My heart morosed through acknowledging only one thing within the job role and deacription, is that I have drive as part of this profession. There is no support regarding disability and mental health which hinders me to drive, due to this profession becoming a community workbased. I have been neglecting it. My dreams have shattered! I've ended up choosing to study law and become a solicetor. I've had a strong passion and interest in Social Work but it all happens for a reason. Maybe god created a different destination for me.
Hi that's such a shame not to go into social work when you've worked so hard for it. I don't know if it's any help now but I do know some social workers who don't drive. I work in a hospital so wouldn't necessarily need to drive for that. Although, law is also a brilliant route you can massively help people in so I wish you all the absolute best in your endeavours ☺️
@@KayleighRoseEvans Nothing has gone to waste if Social work was not the option for me. Becoming a solicetor is still another way of supporting vulnerable clients who have been ripped off or robbed into a contract. So I have nothing to lose. Law is above and beyond Social work, when your supporting service users within Social Work, your still working around laws. The majority of social work careers involve driving licence and it's more community effective. Not being able to drive is not worth of getting in debt for £50,000 for this degree, when options are limited. Thank you for your warm wishes and wish you best of luck for the future with all bright colours in the sky! 😃
Great video and useful tips☺️. I completely agree and found that I was more confident in my role as I increased my knowledge. I've also been lucky to have worked with some very knowledgeable colleagues over the years and have found that so helpful too xx
Aww thanks for watching, good point about colleagues. They are the main sources of knowledge for sure !! xx
Your pretty, I have to say. Great video, by the way.
Aw thank you ❤️
Thank you very informative
Brilliant thanks 👍
I found this very helpful. Thank you Kayleigh
Really pleased to hear it. Lots more of these theory ones to come 👍
Informative video. Thank you 🙏🙏
Glad it was helpful! I've got more like these lined up :D
Thank you Kayleigh. A must watch video on social work theories. Clear explanations with examples 😊
Hi Thank you! More like this one to come. Hope you are doing well :D
Ive been very interesting in becoming a social worker. But definitely Apprehensive due to me being dyslexic
This has been a topic of discussion in the discord group I have for social workers. It's free to join - linktr.ee/kayleighrevans
Social work does not and should never include false practices such as discriminating set backs.
Hi Kayliegh, I've managed to be offered a condtional place due to the strengh of my personal statment and three stage interview.
That's amazing news well done 😁
@@KayleighRoseEvans Thank you. I hope to go into nhs social work or become a clincal psychologist regarding mental health practices, studying through Bsc Psychology with mental health. I'm only best suited within clinical social work job roles, not going into people's houses for assessments and cases. I'm not confident within driving due to suffering range of disabilities and mental health illnesses. I'm still think whether to study social work or psychology with mental health at University.
@@Seharkhan69 hi it's great you have an idea in mind. I am a hospital social worker at the moment and don't really go into houses. You can state your preferences on the course. 👍
@@KayleighRoseEvans So I can choose to work with NHS and disregard home meetings. Home meetings will be difficult due to not being able to drive independantly.
You can have roles where they are predominantly based in a building like a hospital where you don't necessarily need to do home visits. However, sometimes visits are needed in these roles for example if having to follow up on protection of property/ animals for example where their are issues for people who have been admitted but if you have difficulties getting there it would be something to discuss and get support from a manager with. Hope that helps.
I have an ASYE interview in 2 days, I have been so anxious until I watched this, thank you 🙏 for the tips.
Ahh I hope you do really well. I'm glad it's helped 😀
Great as always Kayleigh 😊. I had a little watch of this before my recent interview...xx
Ahh brilliant!!! 😁 One of my best supporters ❤️xx
This has been most beneficial. Thank you very much for inviting Queen Vee to your podcast. She has clarified a lot of aspects and I am most grateful!
Hi that's great to hear thank you 😌
This is always challenging and a good reminder you mentioned is that I am a professional indeed. It's always daunting and I find this mostly with Drs, however, getting prepped before the meeting helps loads as you mentioned!xxxx
Heyy thanks for your comment ❤️
Wow!Such great experience and great info on choice re Adult Social Work!I struggle with this especially on first episode Psychosis where someone has gone through their lives without mental ill health and one thing or a number of things happen in their lives leading to admission. xxxx
Hi thanks for your comment. Yeah social work can be tough but also rewarding 🥰xx
This came just in time as I was carrying out one so great timing. Great insightful information as always!Keeping my eyes peeled for more videos.xx
Brilliant, thank you for your positive comment and supporting the channel! 🥰Xx
Information, advice and guidance at its best. Accessing the funding is really important to ensure the care plan is fully implemented. What are the various routes to receiving the funding plesse
Thank you ! In the UK local authorities will contribute towards care costs if someone has savings below £23,250. Capital tied up in property can impact on this if a 24 hour placement is needed. If someone has a primary healthcare need the NHS may find care via continuing healthcare funding.
i have a master's degree in social work not from the UK, can i still register me as a social worker in the UK? If yes, how can i do that. your knowledge in this regard will be highly appreciated also how to contact you if any further information required in future please?
Hi it's worth speaking with Social Work England to find out requirements but to work in the UK you have to register with social work England. 😊 To reach out further here is my linktree with details to reach me or join my free community on discord.
How many essays are there each year? Thank you ❤
Hi I actually can't remember and I wonder if every university is different. Maybe someone else can answer this?
I had 6 modules in first year. So there are 6 but with 2 of the modules we had to do 2-3 separate bits of work. So that would be a presentation and then an essay x
@@lucyrose4318 thanks so much. Is this in the uk? Did you do second and third year? X
@@toniwilliams7193 yes I am at Plymouth university and off to second year in a few weeks x
@@lucyrose4318 ah I wish you all the luck in the world. Thanks for your help x
Thank you Kayleigh. All useful information captured in one video. ❤😊
Thank you ❤️😊
@KayleighRoseEvans if a service users refuses support in a third sector agency, and have the capacity to take the decision would that limit the legal actions which can be taken to safeguard them from risk?
I’d highlight the very misunderstood step 4 of the functional test i.e. communication. So many people mis-assess this and say because the person doesn’t understand or retain the key information they cannot communicate a decision but that’s not what the law says - it’s a decision, not an informed decision. Very very few people should be judged to not be able to communicate a decision. See guidance from the fantastic 39 Essex Chambers. For clarity it’s worth noting that advance decisions (and directives) are healthcare treatment related and so nearly never done by social care staff including social workers. A best interest decision should weigh up at least 2 available options - a single option isn’t really an option at all (no choice) and should not be limited to what the professionals and family think are only the good ideas.
Thank you for highlighting this information. This is so helpful. 👍
Thank you for sharing Kayleigh. Brilliant as usual. Can you please share a video on how to write a good critical incident analysis for a final year social work placement?
Brilliant thank you. I need to look into what these critical analysis pieces involve as a few people have asked! :)
@KayleighRoseEvans that would be great.. I am on my final year social work placement. The one I need to write has to cover elements such as safeguarding, risk, professional judgement and decision making. Thank you in advance
Ahh ok so do you pick an experience from your placement to reflect on in relation to this? Thanks 😊
@KayleighRoseEvans yes you pick a critical incident from you placement. It is not case study but an incident. You have to say why its a safeguarding one and have to link in risk management, professional judgement and decision making. Also include legal and policy frameworks.
@@AB-dx7rq hi ok that makes sense thanks 👍
Hello Kayleign, thanks for the video and it is really recommended for those who want to level up Social work skills.
Hi that's great to hear thanks 👍
Hi 👋 do you know can I be a social worker if I don’t have a qualification and an experience as a social worker? Thanks
Hi to practice as a social worker you generally need some voluntary experience or experience of helping people in your private life. A lot of people take access courses to get the qualifications needed for the degree so don't let that put you off. Have a search on entry requirements and then may be worth enquiring direct with a university you would be interested in applying for or going through the apprenticeship route.
@@KayleighRoseEvans thanks a lot for your suggestions 👍 Do you have Instagram?
Very informative video, thank you for making it. I have one question please do let me know, the mandatory placements as a part of this course can we choose where we want to do it as students or its totally controlled by the university? Thanks
Hi thanks for your positive feedback. What generally happens is you express an interest in whether you want to go into children's or adults and then also in what area you would be interested in trying. They will try to find you somewhere to match. 👍
@@KayleighRoseEvans wonderful, thank you so much for the much needed reply that too this quick 😊🙏
