Hi,

I am studying for a social work MSW degree in Scotland. I am enjoying it a lot and would like to meet social workers from other countries to share experiences.

At the moment as there is a huge migrant community here, I am doing a lot of work with migrant children, group work, community work, supporting people with alcohol/domestic violence problems.

After I graduate I will have three options:
-community care (mental health, disability, older people)
- criminal justice
- children and families social work

I initialy inteded to work for children and families department but it seems these jobs are the most stressful and I am a bit worried about it.

What are your choices of statutory social work after you graduate from an MSW degree in staturory and voluntary organisations?

Is it quite common to move from one area of sw to another e.g. from criminal justice to children and families?

any experiences you would like to share would be great

many thanks
