At Hull university the master course, we did specialise in domestic abuse and other areas such at loss. I mean if it’s not the job of the university to train then whose job, there is of course your own personal development, like I have specialised in suicide prevention, I did feel armed with knowledge and understanding of loss and suicide from both the mental health module and the loss module I did. Maybe I was lucky to have experienced tutors on the course,

If they don’t teach specialise areas and it’s broad then ok l, you have directed studies to research deeper into areas of interest, for example my work on. AI in social worke and learning disabilities was fascinating to learn about 🙂

In reply to Hannah.

No offence to anyone but my take on social work as a profession is after dealing a few sw’s that sided with my abuser, who also had a fondness for invalidating, gaslighting, etc, I think the whole enterprise needs to shift into 2024, and accept the fact that da is more than likely at the root of most child welfare cases. For a start, BASW, or whomever it is that set such things, they could add knowledge of the da crime acts to qualifying exams. Then at least SW would know how to respond when they are informed about service users’ experiences of being a victim of crime.

i naively thought social workers would be informed about domestic abuse and cc, plus all the other offshoots – stalking, harassment, etc. seeing as it must be a factor in at least 75% of caseloads, if not more.

In reply to Tony Phillips. I would urge anyone experiencing any form of this at work to raise a formal grievance. The citizens advice website has an excellent grievance letter generator. Only positive path of highlighting poor management.

My children and I all reported abuse from their narcissistic father…I naively assumed that surely social workers would be aware of perpetrator characteristics’ , consummate Jeckyl & Hyde, dark tetrad con artists. But then I came to understand that child protection, family court, and the various ‘professionals’ that do BI assessments – these folks only listened to the perpetrator, after I tried to advocate for my kids, who felt distinctly unseen and unheard, my speaking truth to their power led to the most horrific suffering for my children and I. I lost my access to my kids, who now live with the perpetrator. The LA used my distress caused by their collusion with the perpetrator as justification to take me to court. It felt like everyone involved in the case was still in 1982 – DV= physical, and ‘historic’. Bruises fade but the fear does not, especially now that the perpetrator’s power and control has been enhanced by the State. Terrifying.

I trained as a social worker late in my career after years as working as a public health practitioner in the field of violence against women and children. I think domestic violence is inadequately covered in undergraduate social work practice in the UK (compared with amazing social work practitioners that I worked with from Canada and Australia). This needs to be urgently addressed. Coercive and controlling behaviour can be covered in social work undergraduate more than it is – and it may well be that it is a speciality area in postgraduate – but where are those courses in the UK – they are not necessarily set up for social workers. There are some great IDVA courses around. However, my bigger concern is that social workers who have been in the field for years are missing coercive and controlling behaviour and are not mentoring younger social workers who are newly graduated. This is more of my concern. It is not OK to say that this is a speciality area when it is the reality that new social workers are facing and inadequately prepared to deal with in early practice and they are not being adequately supervised to do so in their role. Women who needs the support of social workers are being denied best ands safe practice time and time again because social workers are not addressing this. This is unacceptable.

Social workers should beware the unexpected consequences of their academia bashing. Social workers love to regale us about how social work is a profession. If it is then expecting to be taught the nuts and bolts of their jobs begs the question why a profession needs such extreme artisanal training? Being taught the mechanics can just as easily and perhaps be better learnt through apprenticeships and not attending venerable academic institutions. Personally I’ve never bought the profession argument on the simple fact that anything useful a social worker learns to become competent learnt while doing the job. Often under the informal tutalige of a colleague. I loved my time on my course. It taught me how to think more critically, it taught me how to organise that thinking, it taught me how to listen, it taught me how to refine my empathy, it taught me resilience, it taught me how to interact with people I might not like or want to be with. And so on. It didn’t taught me about ‘assessments’, it didn’t taught me how to avoid answering the phone, it didn’t taught me about the prevalence of forms, of the burden of mainly useless bureaucracy that passes for SWE approved social work. I’m thankful that my course didn’t prepare me for the realities of how mundane, spirit crushing, angst inducing and isolating being a social worker can be in this time. If it did I probably would’ve dropped out. But then I was never seduced by being a ‘Masters’ student either. Teaching us how to learn is what the role of academics are. If you think they are useless at preparing you for social work, ask yourself why you need to have a degree to do a job in reality you only get to do well after you qualify. Stop fetishing degrees and you’ll be liberated and happy. Resent your employer, resent inadequate resources and perhaps resent your manager but never resent your tutor because without you realising it they have prepared you for some of the idiocy that passes for ‘professionalism’ in social work.

The involvement of people with lived experience is vitally important here – in the training of social work students, in the ASYE year, and as part of ongoing CPD after that. I deliver training on Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control to all these cohorts – Worcester University is a real leader in this field, and this learning is now being transferred to the West Midlands Teaching Partnership.

I qualified as a social worker 13 years ago and worked for a long period in adult social work.
After losing all belief in the system I am retraining as a psychotherapist and the difference in the quality of the training offered is so much higher than on my social worker MSc

In reply to Jim Butts.

Excellent clear thinking there Jim – also one of recognition SWs deal with the whole package and would refer to a specialist agency, not trying to ‘fix’ it as part of the referral unless specifically instructed by MARAC for example. Worked in DA for years and poor intervention can escalate a situation with terrible consequences.

Sadly I see in today’s society more need for help from social services.

I see and hear about social workers ineptitude with handling domestic situations. Leaving mothers with abusive partners and children living with them, the mother often unable to be free of the aggressive controlling male. Social workers ignore obvious signs, often return children to the home where the aggressor lives. Social workers need more vigorous training. Should be continually doing development courses as therapists must. Have more interaction with therapists and police.
In other words better and more in depth training, for more years.
