As part of the #ChooseSocialWork campaign Sharmeen Ziauddin, assistant careers editor at Community Care, speaks to social workers Alasdair Kennedy and Becky Salter.
They discuss how high-profile cases, where children have died, has affected their practice, how TV soaps get it wrong and what less experienced social workers can do to cope with negativity towards the profession.
And Alasdair tells a few stories from when he started his career as a social worker - over 30 years ago, when social work practice was very different!
