Welcome to the first episode of the new miniseries "Social Work Around The World" from the The Social Work Community Podcast.

In the first episode, social work senior lecturer and MSc lead from Brunel University Yohai Hakak, talks to Sharmeen Ziauddin, careers editor at Community Care, about the research he is leading with his social work students.
The research looks into the migration of social workers to and from the UK. Yohai explains what led him to conduct the research and some of his findings.
This is the first of two episodes with Yohai, the second episode is about his experience in Israel so do have a listen to that when it drops.
