19 MAG 2025 · In this episode of the miniseries Social work around the world, Community Care's careers editor Sharmeen Ziauddin, speaks to Riad Arar, a social worker from Hebron, a city south of Jerusalem, in the occupied West Bank, Palestine.
He describes what life is like for him since 7 October 2023. Increased military checkpoints make delivering services incredibly hard for social workers and healthcare professionals. The focus is on survival.
Riad speaks about Gaza and the destruction there. But he also talks about hope and how that keeps him going, along with the solidarity of the international community.
Listening with the transcript is advisable.

16 APR 2025 · As part of the 'Social work around the world' series, this episode, hosted by careers editor Sharmeen Ziauddin, features two Australian social workers, who have practised in Australia and in England.
Kristin, worked in Queensland, Australia before moving to London 12 years ago. Tina similarly moved to London from Queensland but moved back and found herself stuck in Western Australia during the covid-19 pandemic, and ended up staying there.
Emigrating is never easy and the challenges Kristen experienced led her to write https://ukworklife.com/ to help other Australian social workers navigate their move to the UK. This is how Kristin and Tina met!
The Aussies discuss the differences in social work between the two countries, how they overcame the challenges and what they love about working in both countries. Tina also shares her experience working with Aboriginal communities in Western Australia where she is currently based.
