What should a team manager do if a family asks for a different social worker because of their race or religion? How much support is available for social workers who get abuse from service users?

30 NOV 2023 · TW: Please note there is mention of self-harm and suicidal thoughts in this episode which some listeners may find upsetting.
In the second episode of the Social Work Community Podcast, by Community Care, Sharmeen Ziauddin speaks to Elizabeth Glandfield, 23, and Omar Mohamed, 22, who are both children and family social workers.
They discuss how people they work with don’t always take them seriously at first because of their perceived age. They also talk about how being “in with the kids” is a strength that they bring to the teams they work in. What are the latest trends among young people that social workers should be aware of? And is reverse ageism a thing?
