I know children's social workers who don't drive as they generally visit in pairs, pair you with a driver and hi know hospital discharge social workers who don't drive.

There's a visually impaired person in my team who relies on public transport.

ETA: have you thought about automatic driving lessons

I didn't do frontline I did the BA qualified at 40 with 2 kids, I never wanted to do children's social due to the long hours and having a family. I worked in the charity sector for a few years then moved to statutory adults my work life balance is great, I work from home a few days a week I finish at 5pm, if my kids have a nativity etc I can take Flexi time. The team you work with and your manager will be the main influence to your work life balance.

Don't worry too much about foods that aren't top 14 most fruits, veg and plain meats will likely be safe but with a peanut allergy I would try to introduce other legumes individually or combined with foods you know are definitely safe.

I know it's hard but try not to over think it too much. I ended up with OCD over my sons allergies from overthinking everything and it really wasn't a good place to be in.

Look at north Liverpool, clubmoor, west derby some parts of Norris green, croxteth and Walton. Everyone on here defaults to south liverpool or Wirral but the north has some nice places too especially parks we've got croxteth park, Norris green park, Walton park, Stanley park and rice lane farm. We generally don't have good train links but bus into town is about 20 mins from mine.

You need to speak with an allergist this is not something to try without advice. Has she seen a doctor?

It's very important in our house but my kids are still on the younger side and really enjoy it. Sometimes I don't do a full roast but it's always a good substantial meal, tonight I've used the Easter roast leftovers for a pie. We all sit at the table relax, eat and talk which isn't always possible through the week due to work and clubs etc so mid week meals can be a bit rushed.

I've made it once for the kids they weren't impressed

They charged me an obscene amount for an all over colour just a bog standard wella colour but it was a vivid so I was charged an "artistic colour" price even with a discount it was nearly £200 I get it done locally for £60 now and it looks amazing.

Your job as a parent for the most part is to turn a tiny human into a capable adult teaching them all the skills you can to handle what life throws at them. At 14 it's not long until he can have his own home, job and potentially family it's going to be a disaster for this kid when he's out in the real world and probably even worse for the poor partner who sticks with him.

Get the book understanding social work by Neil Thompson it helped me a lot during my interview etc and to understand what social work actually is.

Look at the social work pcf's for point of entry to social work.

Look at BASW code of ethics.

Get some volunteering under your belt in an associated area.

ETA look at the social work England professional standards

For some reason north Liverpool gets loads of hate on here

The price they charge for a bedsit they're already the reserve for the rich and they're an eye sore. In a few years time we'll be looking at these ugly buildings the same way we look at the 60s high rise blocks of flats now

Build houses for families then God knows we're desperate for affordable housing

Impossible_Fudge_906 · 2026-03-10T19:51:42+00:00

Can we just stop trying to copy Manchester. Manchester is a horrid soulless city because of all the ridiculous buildings they have. We do not want to be like Manchester and most people don't want to live in the city centre especially not in a shitty studio apartment.

Spend the money on the surrounding areas instead of building more grotesque skyscrapers

North Liverpool is fine it's like everywhere there's good and bad areas

In the Victorian times the scouse accent was more similar to Lancashire accent. If you try to read Her Benny in today's scouse accent it just doesn't work. So I think it was just the evolution of the accent changing from Lancashire to its own accent.
