"Hi Steven, I have been a trade union activist for many years. You should consider becoming an activist yoursel. It is a very empowering experience. We need to challenge the blame culture which is so prevalent in Social Work."

At 12:07 on January 19, 2012, Alan Howard said…: Hiya Helen! I'm recently qualified and currently job hunting at present, think I’d prefer to be studying again! Assignments, I think, are quite personal to you as they often require your spin and perspective on things. So, find a thought provoking/chatty friend, a coffee or bottle of wine and bounce the ideas around the room with a notepad close by, very useful and it can take your own thoughts in a very different direction. Placements...make sure you hold your learning needs at the forefront of all you do, make them a well known priority as the only person truly interested in you and your needs and your development beyond the portfolio is unfortunately just you. Best of luck with it all! :)

At 22:18 on January 19, 2012, PJ Nicholls said…: Thank you for your message and I hope that you are enjoying your placement. The only advice I can give regarding your journals is to keep up to date with them. I really enjoyed my degree but unfortunately there is much work; so I am back doing support work. I am considering doing a post grad course. All the best with your studies :-)

At 20:54 on February 7, 2012, Joanne Heslop said…: Hi Helen, how's it going? Sorry for not responding to your message sooner.. but time flys away with life! I've been qualified now for nearly 2 years but can remember my student days well and if there's anything I can do to help don't hesitate to ask! Hope you're doing well with the assignments and I think the best advice I could give is to try your best and keep going! Good luck for the future

Oh, how I miss my Uni days...seems like a long time ago now and used to love the long Summers :-) Hope you plan to make the most of your time? I used to read the Community Care magazine when I was off so I could keep upto date with what was happening in the social work world...what's your plans? Did you get through the first year ok?
