Currently, i am a social work student in my final year studying MSc social work at Birmingham city university pursuing a career in becoming a qualified and registered social worker. I have a particular interest in children and families and have gained a lot of knowledge whilst on practice placements in areas such as fostering and adoption with independent fostering agency and gained experience in a charity organisation working with adults during my studies.
