Home and online visits

We know social workers are working harder than ever in the challenging conditions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. To help meet your need for information and guidance we’re developing a mini-series of podcasts and webinars about coronavirus and how it’s affecting social work practice.

Our expert guest was Claudia Megele, chair of the Principal Child and Family Social Worker Network.

The episode covers:
- When it's appropriate to conduct an online visit, rather than a home visit.
- Best practice in conducting online visits, including different ideas for virtual direct work.
- How social workers can keep themselves and families safe when carrying out home visits.
