Resources, links, ideas and top tips.... by https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt This page is going to grow and grow throughout the module and will beome and take away and keep resource for you. What I will do is post up loads of links and signpost to reading and less obviously linked resources. BUT ...what really needs to happen is that you add stuff. Don't be shy! If you have read, seen, heard anything that might be interesting, helpful or crucial for other students then say what it is here. Anything that is connected in some way to social work, relationship based practice, skills etc is welcome. en-us 2018-01-25 15:57:36 UTC 2026-01-22 19:20:31 UTC hello@padlet.com rdingram https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/224719608 Here is the trailer to the film I mentioned....I think it is on Netflix. Really worth a watch!]]> 2018-01-25 16:03:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/224719608 Self reflection - ask folk you can trust about your communication skills - especially when under pressure, unsure, worried, tired, happy etc...basically all the emotions! How do they know what you are feeling?? That is a great insight to get. For example, I tend to find it hard to hold eye contact if I am lying or not wanting to say what I have to say. I try to work on that as best I can. Self-awareness is the key. So...this resource is you and your friends/family. rdingram https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/224720095 2018-01-25 16:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/224720095 rdingram https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/224978625 This is the record of your motivations and qualities required to be a social worker - very useful foundation.]]> 2018-01-26 09:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/224978625 here is a link to the book I waved about in class yesterday.

chapter 8 & 17 are well worth a look - it also stocked in the Blackwell's shop in the library]]> 2018-01-31 15:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/226615463 has anyone seen the drama on channel 4 called Kiri - it follows a social worker and has received loads of criticism. I haven't seen it - post here any comments if you have - what was wrong/right with it? https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/226618993 http://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-01-18/kiri-channel-4-social-worker-inaccuracy-reviews/]]> 2018-01-31 15:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/226618993 Christine Jeffrey ChristineJeffrey https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/232691489 I found this article reiterating what we are being taught about the importance of a good relationship with service users quite interesting. ]]> 2018-02-18 14:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/232691489 aeckouadio https://padlet.com/rdingram/wh1xv1tc1vxt/wish/232917748 I thought this study was really interesting overall, but especially the section which focuses on 'parents as partners in the process'. This section highlights the importance of a social worker building a relationship with a child's parents, as the child will tend to reflect the emotions the parents feel towards the social worker.
