Student social worker placement

"I had the opportunity to complete my Level One Social Work placement with The Magdalene Group, from January to May of this year. I was placed within the Rose Team, and from the beginning was given the opportunity to shadow colleagues, attend team and organisation-wide meetings, and undertake training to enrich my understanding of child sexual exploitation (CSE,) and of working with children. The team quickly helped me to feel comfortable and valued, and I was given the opportunity to hold my own caseload and carry out one-to-one sessions with children and young people. I loved being able to work with these individuals, and I felt very supported by The Magdalene Group as I developed my own practice and learning. Thanks to everyone for the fantastic experience!" Eve Wright, Student Social Worker

Unconscious Bias training

The team are taking part in unconscious bias training today, hosted by Homeless Link. Our trainer, Sabrina Pathan, is passionate, enthusiastic & engaging, and the subject matter - whilst uncomfortable at times - is interesting & thought-provoking; lots of opportunity for interaction. I think Sabrina loves our group, as much as we love her!

Thank you to Brewin Dolphin….
