I’m Matthew Social Work England's regional engagement lead for the North West of England. In this series we're focusing on the professional standards, the 6 standards that social workers must know, understand and be able to do as part of their role. The professional standards are specialists to the social work profession and apply to social workers in all roles and settings across England. In this episode we're focused on standard five we discuss social media and how social workers can use it in a way that ensures we act safely respectfully and with professional integrity we're joined by Kayleigh Rose Evans, a social worker and best interests assessor from the North West, who's a bit of a famous face in the world of social media. Today Kayleigh shares her own experiences of using social media as a social worker, outlines the benefits of its use and gives us an insight into how she meets standard 5. She also reveals some of her top tips when it comes to using social media platforms responsibly, and the line between personal and professional accounts online. We hope you enjoy the conversation. Philippa Welcome Matthew and welcome Kayleigh. So it would be really great Kayleigh if you could introduce yourself and tell us a bit about yourself. Kayleigh Okay well firstly, thank you for inviting me on the podcast, I’m really pleased to be asked. I’m Kayleigh, a social worker in the North West of England and so I studied social work at BA level, but I carried on to study after qualifying because I wanted to carry on to build up things like best interests assessments, and I’m now doing my practice educator training and I have to say like, continuing that has been really helpful for me and given me a lot more confidence in practice and alongside that, I’ve been doing various social media things like YouTube and I’m quite active on Twitter and it's really given me a, a wide community so I’m going to talk a little bit more about that. But I just wanted to set the scene and my practice before qualifying was with, I volunteered a lot with children but then I ended up working with adults and I’ve worked in various different roles which again I’ve been really fortunate to have a good career so far, and I’ve worked in hospitals, various hospitals, in a rehabilitation centre, I worked on a new project with district nurses in quite an impoverished area and we did some really good preventative work, and now I’m working in a larger team of social workers, so I feel that I’ve had a really good insight into different areas of adult services.

Social media is increasingly a feature of how we communicate and through the course of the pandemic we've seen social media play an important role in how communities remain connected, how social workers engage with children, families and people accessing support and care services, as well as how we connect with colleagues and friends. Whilst for some social media is a source of support and connectedness, for others it's far from a safe space. As social workers who are part of a regulated profession, we also need to think about what we post online and think about the link between the personal and professional and that's what we're going to talk a bit more about today. Matthew. Matthew Thanks Philippa, so standard 5 is quite big, there's a lot of elements to standard 5 but we're going to drill down into a couple of elements of standard 5, just to sort of frame this discussion really about social media, so particularly standard 5.2 talks about ‘as a social worker, I will not behave in a way that will bring into question my suitability to work as a social worker while at work or outside of work’ and I think that opens up the discussion a little bit about social media, and how can social workers use social media, both in their role but how ...
