Balance and boundaries: exploring how people remain in frontline social work practice

Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This workshop will give an overview of a recent research project that sought to understand social workers’ experiences of staying in the profession for longer than the career average (8 years in the UK), before inviting attendees to engage with the themes from the research and consider which, if any, resonate with their own experiences. Attendees will work in small groups, reflecting on whether the themes resonate with their experiences and adding their own ideas and reflections. Attendees will have the opportunity to feed back from their discussions, considering ideas they could take back to support their own social work practice.
