O tym podcaście
Messy Social Work is a podcast for social workers, leaders, students and anyone interested in helping people navigate life's toughest challenges.
Hosted by Rich Devine and Tim Fisher, the podcast explores child protection, systemic practice, relationships, leadership, trauma, family support and the realities of frontline social work.
Each week, we speak with leading thinkers, practitioners, researchers and people with lived experience to explore what helps, what harms and what social work can learn from both success and failure.
Expect honest conversations, practical ideas, challenging questions and occasional disagreement, all grounded in a belief that meaningful change happens through relationships.
Because social work isn't neat.
It's messy.
