    Season 4, Episode 11: Endings on Placement

    Goodbye (Endings) Social workers specialise in establishing relationships with service users founded on empathy and respect. However, what occurs when it's necessary to conclude a case, transfer it to another worker, or when a student's placement ends? Today, our focus is on closures and farewells during placements, as well as the potential experiences that student social workers may have as they need to say goodbye to service users, and the placement team.
