This set of questions was created by young people and social workers across Brighton & Hove and East Sussex who are passionate about working together and making positive change. We would like to learn about your experience of your relationship with your current social worker (or most recent if you no longer have a social worker). It is really important to hear your views so that we can understand the relationships we have with families and improve them wherever possible.
You can choose to remain anonymous, give us your name and your social worker’s name, or you can just give us your social worker’s details. The survey can also be used to give feedback about the support you have had from your adolescent worker or personal adviser. If this is the case, make it clear which team you are being supported by and substitute your worker for your social worker in the questions.
Giving your name
The evaluation can be used to monitor and improve current working relationships between families and workers. The evaluations (positive or negative) will be reviewed in supervisions between workers and managers so that examples of good relationship-based practice can be celebrated, and workers are supported in creative ways when matters are raised. For example, offering meetings between worker and family, training, or review of workloads.
Giving the social worker’s name only
This will not identify you directly but ensures that your information is shared with the social worker and manager and reviewed in supervisions.
Remaining anonymous
This will assist in wider service development and inform focus groups and organisational action plans for change.
