Do Do Social Work
A podcast by social workers for social workers and anyone with an interest in social work issues in the UK. Sarah Flagg and Paul Shuttleworth have a chat about their social work lives, and break down complex policy, theory and practice into a discussion that is relatable and (sometimes) humorous.

Do Do Social Work
Dr. Paul is an ageing wannabe who has just finished a PhD and wants everyone to know it. Sarah is far too nice for her own good and has been duped into taking part in this vanity project.
More importantly, Paul's long suffering husband Gareth hates it when social workers talk social work ALL THE TIME. So maybe this podcast will help them vent a bit and get it out of their system, so he can get back to watching the telly in peace, without interruptions.
Anyway, Gareth thinks the podcast is a bit like You're Wrong About, but for social workers. ENJOY!
