[Episode 58.1] Today's episode of the Social Work Podcast is a rebroadcast of a 2010 interview with international social work recruiter David Dininio. I'm rebroadcasting Episode 58 because Kai Searle with Amicus Recruit has a fantastic opportunity for licensed social workers from the USA, Canada, South Africa, and Australia to do child protection work in the UK starting in January / February 2017. If you�re a licensed social worker with experience in child protective services and want to do social work in South East England, email  kai@amicusrecruit.com . In today's Social Work Podcast I speak with David Dininio, Recruitment Manager for HCL Social Care International , about how social workers in the United States can work as social workers in other countries. Let�s be honest. You didn�t become a social worker because you wanted to travel the world. Even if you�re someone who has the travel bug � You�re a social worker. You�re not making a whole lot of money? How are you goi...

[Episode 95] Hey there podcast listeners. March is Social Work Month . I know, you�re saying, but every month is social work month. Yes� that�s true� for social workers. But, social work is one of those professions that, to misquote Ogden Rogers [Episode 88], if you�re doing it well, people don�t know you�re doing it. so, let�s have a month to remind the general public of what social workers do. In that spirit, today�s episode is a quick and dirty rundown of some of the things I do for social work and some of the things I�m involved in that make social work a better profession. So, this episode is a quick and dirty rundown of upcoming episodes, resources for social work and technology, and information about my book, Suicide in Schools, published by Routledge Press in December 2014. NASW�s theme for Social Work Month 2015 is �social work paves the way for change.� I love our profession and all that we do to pave the way for change for the oppressed, marginalized, and underrepresented in...

[Episode 85] Today's episode of the Social Work Podcast explores the similarities and differences between social work in the United States and the United Kingdom. I spoke with British social worker and podcaster, David Niven. David is the former National Chair of the British Association of Social Workers (BASW). He has over 30 years national and international experience in the field of social welfare and is recognized as an independent expert on matters of child protection and parenting. He is the founder and host of the Social World Podcast ( www.socialworldpodcast.com ). There are many similarities between social work in the USA and the UK, but there are a couple of important differences. One of the biggest differences is that in the UK child and family social workers serve as child protection workers, whereas in the USA child protection and social work are separate professions. Note: David interviewed me in November 2013 about cyberbullying and youth suicide for his podcast ser...

[Episode 63] Today's Social Work Podcast is a broad overview of current policies and practices associated with adoption in the United States. According to the Evan B. Donaldson Institute, 6 in 10 Americans have had experience with adoption, meaning you, or a family member or close friend was adopted, adopted a child, or put a child up for adoption. Although most Americans have experience with adoption, as you'll hear in today's interview, the world of adoption is incredibly complex. For example, is it ever acceptable to consider the race of a prospective adoptive family when making placement decisions? For example, you're looking to place an African American child. You have three prospective adoptive families - two African American and one White. Assuming all things are equal, could you use race as an exclusionary criterion? What about if the child was White, Latino, or Native American? If you know the answer - congratulations. If not, keep listening. And even if you kn...

In today's Social Work Podcast I speak with David Dininio, Recruitment Manager for HCL Social Care International , about how social workers in the United States can work as social workers in other countries. Let�s be honest. You didn�t become a social worker because you wanted to travel the world. Even if you�re someone who has the travel bug � You�re a social worker. You�re not making a whole lot of money? How are you going to finance it? Today�s Social Work Podcast is about how social workers can work abroad. I�m a big proponent of living abroad. When I was 15, my family moved to Cambridge, England. I was not interested in going. I was supposed to start 10th grade at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia. You might have heard of T.C. Williams. Denzel Washington made it famous in the movie �Remember the Titans,� a story about how a coach and a football team helped the school and the city coming to terms with racial integration. Now, the movie came out years after I ...
