    Social workers talk about mental health every day, just never our own

    In this episode of Social Work Radio, Vince Peart and Cara Davis take on a difficult truth in the profession: social workers talk about mental health every day, just rarely their own. Through Cara’s deeply personal account of living with an eating disorder while working in frontline practice, and Vince’s reflections on what that silence costs the workforce, the conversation explores stigma, disclosure, workplace culture, and the unspoken hierarchy of which mental health struggles feel “acceptable” to admit. It is an honest, challenging episode about vulnerability, recovery, and why social workers are not failing when they struggle, but revealing something profoundly human.

    When everything else changes, a brother or sister can still be your anchor

    In this episode of Social Work Radio, our social work hosts Vince and Cara explore why sibling relationships can be a lifeline for children in care, and why the law’s new recognition of that bond matters so deeply. From the emotional reality of separation to the political battle that finally gave sibling contact stronger statutory footing, they unpack what this change could mean in practice, why it has taken so long, and what still needs to happen to make it real for the thousands of children still living apart from their brothers and sisters.

    A justice minister just said parental alienation has no scientific basis. Now what?

    In this week’s episode of Social Work Radio, Vince and Cara unpack the growing fallout after a justice minister said parental alienation has no scientific basis, asking what that means for family courts, social work practice, and the parents and children caught in the middle. From the long shadow of the 2020 Harm Panel to the role of unregulated experts and the damage caused when safeguarding concerns are reframed as manipulation, the episode explores how a concept with no recognised diagnostic standing became so influential, and whether this moment could finally shift the system back towards child safety.

    Social Work Week 2026: It's all about AI

    In the latest episode of Social Work Radio, Vince and Cara take on one of the biggest issues facing the profession right now: the growing role of AI in social work. From algorithmic risk scores and embedded decision-support tools to bias, transparency, consent, and the future of professional judgement, this episode explores what happens when technology starts shaping practice faster than many practitioners realise. It is a sharp, timely conversation about safeguarding the relational core of social work in an increasingly automated world, and why Social Work Week 2026 should be a moment for the profession to lead the debate rather than simply react to it.

    Do you need trauma to be a good social worker?

    In this episode of Social Work Radio, Vince and Cara take on a question that quietly sits in the background of the profession: do you need trauma to be a good social worker? They explore why lived experience is often seen as a badge of credibility, the real role empathy plays in practice, and the risks that come when personal pain becomes an unspoken qualification for the job. From the value of emotional literacy and supervision to the burnout risks of over-identification, the conversation unpacks what truly shapes effective practice - and why the profession needs a healthy mix of perspectives, not a competition over who has suffered the most.

    Duration Neglect: aka “How can you not see this?”

    This week, Vince and Cara unpack the idea of duration neglect - the psychological blind spot that helps explain why social workers can see years of cumulative harm in a chronology while families experience life crisis-by-crisis and believe they are coping. This episode explores the gap between professional “montage” thinking and lived real-time experience, the way chronic low-level harm becomes normalised, and why neglect and long-term adversity are so often minimised in both practice and systems From practical implications for assessments and chronologies to a shift in tone from confrontation to curiosity, this is a thoughtful, reflective conversation about what it really means to ask: how can you not see this?

    Jeffrey Epstein isn't the whole story

    In this episode of Social Work Radio, Vince and Cara unpack why Jeffrey Epstein isn’t the whole story. Moving beyond the fixation on famous names, they explore the wider networks of abuse, power and institutional failure that social workers recognise all too well. From the way harm is framed differently in wealthy circles and deprived communities, to how systems weigh risk when influence is involved, this conversation challenges listeners to look past spectacle and ask harder questions about safeguarding, accountabilit,y and whose voices get centred.
