I have chosen to study social work as it a passion of mine to work with children and families including adults, I would love to help and provide care for those who are vulnerable at a disadvantage or simply seeking advice and support. I understand that Social work is an extremely difficult profession to work in, due to the intense workloads required for this role and to the sensitivity of some cases, but I love the challenge especially with such a rewarding outcome of improving the quality of someone's life

Studying Health and social care at Level 2 and 3 has given me an insight in working within this area of profession, as a part of this course I have undertaken the study of various topics including Psychology, Counselling Theory and Practice, Law and Sociology as well as others which are essential modules that relate within social work BSc. These topics have given me a better understanding of how social workers can intervene and help during difficult time to guide and protect a wide range of individuals with different needs for example people facing or suffering with personal difficulties, disabilities, mental health issues and other circumstances.
Working with these individuals has helped me develop empathy and sensitivity, it has boosted my self-awareness and I gained in confidence knowing my responsibility of care while following procedures successfully and providing a high quality of care. I enjoyed working with the autistic spectrum because it has taught me how to effectively communicate by gaining a rapport with the client, understanding and acknowledging their needs whilst using my own
