"For me, there are three things at play in our work as social workers - power, communication and change. It strikes me that what we are involved in as social workers is influenced heavily through power – power that runs through everyone and every structure. Power is pervasive – it’s everywhere. It is certainly an ever-present facet of social work. The key skill that we have to shift power one way or another is communication." Stephen
