Your first years in social work are some of the hardest. You're making complex decisions, managing difficult relationships, and trying to hold it all together, often without enough support around you.
Social Work Sorted gives you the practical skills, tools and resources to feel calm and capable in your practice. No schedules. No pressure. Just clear, grounded training you can access whenever you need it.
Join from £7 a month for the podcast and Practice Pause library, or £20 a month for full access to practical training including Home Visit Masterclass, HR Masterclass, Interview Skills and more.
What's inside
Everything inside is designed to connect directly to your practice; not theory for the sake of it, but skills you can use the same week.
​
Member-only podcast episodes
Short, focused episodes you can listen to on your commute or between visits. Each one reinforces one skill or principle so it actually sticks.
​
Practice Pause audio resources
Guided audio to help you regulate before a difficult day, a home visit, or a challenging meeting. Because how you feel affects how you practice.
​
Practical tools and resources
Ready-to-use for assessments, meetings, safety planning and more, created by a social worker, for social workers.
This is for you if you are:
-
In your ASYE or first few years of qualified practice
-
Feeling underprepared for the reality of family facing social work
-
Looking for support that fits around your actual life
-
Ready to feel calmer, more competent, and more confident in your practice
Most CPD asks you to sit in a room for a day and hope something sticks. Social Work Sorted works differently.
​
Every resource is bite-sized and connected to real practice. You build skills gradually, revisit them when you need to, and develop confidence through repetition, not pressure.
​
Join from £7 a month. Cancel anytime. No contracts, no commitments, just consistent, practical support for as long as you need it.
