Social workers and practitioners across the helping professions are required to undertake ‘direct work’ with children and their families. I have been asked to offer ideas to help those getting started (or those who are underconfident) to get started. So here are some of my thoughts about what needs to go in an essential resource pack, some suggestions about how to work with children, some thoughts about how to structure a session, and some links to useful resources.

It was Care Leavers week recently and the media coverage was poor to say the least. There was, of course, the inevitable national coverage of leaving foster care and the happy successes but at a local level, here at least, it was very poor. Now I accept that we are talking about a minority issue compared with the bigger issues the country currently faces and the major social problems highlighted by austerity.

Let’s talk about patient/family complaints. By doing excellent work (which I hope this website helps you to do), and by working for a good hospice (and they do exist!), you can be fortunate enough to avoid having to deal with complaints too often. But no level of professionalism will completely protect you from complaints. They’ll happen. You can have a bad day and misread a room and say something someone doesn’t like.

The passionate beginning of a relationship is filled with fireworks, but if you really want your marriage to last you and your partner need to be friends as well as lovers.

“Do as I say, not as I do!” was an expression that I heard frequently when I was growing up. Adults behaved in one way but expected children to behave in another. I was reminded of this recently when I was on the receiving end of a self-proclaimed ‘expert’ in Appreciative Inquiry (who forgot to do the appreciation element). I will confess it was a painful experience…very painful.and afterwards I was crushed.

Search for “mental health”, “stress”, “depression” or “anxiety” on the iOS or Android app stores and you’re confronted with a bewildering array of choices. While many of the apps appear well made, trustworthy, and are supported by positive user reviews, the vast majority of these have not been scientifically tested. Some may use evidence-based techniques and models, often drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but the apps themselves have not been validated as effective tools.

Imagine you are sitting with a beloved family member who has only a few days or a few hours left to live. A member of the hospice you’ve hired gently and reverently enters the room. She sits with you and your loved one and quietly holds the space. And then she says: “Since he’s about to die, it’s too bad he’s not a member of the right religion.”. How would you feel?
