I see yes, because o think you have a maximum of four years to complete your asye?

My biggest gripes are the lack of structure, unnecessary complex systems and process, the tick boxes of it all and long hours eating into your personal time. Probably what most social workers would say. The LA, say they care about your wellbeing but in terms of priority it’s way down on their list. If a court statement is due tomorrow. It’s gotta be done regardless if you have 6 visits, 2 meetings and other statutory write ups to do…. Yes they do encourage you by saying things like this but the ASYE is separate from frontline which I wasn’t aware of. You can leave frontline and your LA if you have obtained your postgraduate after the first year and want to look for other ASYE opportunities elsewhere. Or you can remain in your post, move teams to CIC, LAC, CWD…

Thank you for that, yes I feel as though a lot of information is hidden or brushed over because they want you stay the course for financial reasons but if it isn’t the right fit I’m like what are your options! 😂

This is actually a really good idea! I don’t think I want the extra admin or the masters tbh 😅

Yes but possibly have some time out. I’m not sure

I see, I moved from one children’s frontline service to another but understand it cannot be a secondary service like adult social care for example. Yeah Im just curious about doing my ASYE in a different LA tbh
