This week on Entry Level Mums, we sit down with a social worker to break down the myths and assumptions surrounding social services in the UK. Far from the stereotype of wanting to “take your children away,” she explains the real purpose of social services which is helping families find stability, access support and demonstrate healthier ways of living.

In this honest and eye-opening conversation, we explore:

• What social workers actually do day-to-day

• Common misconceptions parents have about social services

• How they support families through difficult times

• Why early involvement can be the key to avoiding crisis

Whether you’ve had worries about social services or simply want to understand how they work, this episode offers reassurance, clarity, and a compassionate perspective.
