  • In this episode, Sharon and I reflect upon and explore how we feel about doing this work, our conversation includes the following touchpoints:

    we don't want to do this forever, so we approach this work with caution, race and racism are part of my life, not my passion, and constantly weighing up whether this is going to wipe me out, this work takes something from youWhat was our resistance to undertaking this work?
    Is this work the only thing I think aboutRace and racism - is not the only thing I think about, am I in denial about these painful aspects of my life?
    We have witnessed awful experiences for trainers undertaking this work we aren't talking about ourselves.
    It's our lived experience and personal (the material)
    We are role models for black brown and white participants.
    What do black practitioners get out of anti-racist training?
    Separate spaces are needed for participants.
    We need to protect participants who are sharing harrowing stories.
    We need to honour those painful stories
    what do white participants bring of themselves to the training space?
    What stories could they admit in separate spaces?
    What are the critical conversations for white people?
    What impact do two black trainers have on a mixed group?
    How are white trainers challenging their inherent racism?the need for white-only spaces will be]enable discussion of epiphanies, which can often be waring and burdensome for black participants, there is a need for honestyWhat are the issues for us as black trainers: should we be doing this training, often told 'You're the experts', What does that even mean?
    As educators inevitably we water down the material, consequently do we lose aspects of our integrity?Leaders tend to want step-by-step answers to anti-racist practice. Change comes from deep introspection, not a list, there needs to be some sweating and self-challenge involved.
    There is value in exploring social graces, it's a start.
    What does allyship mean?
    What can we as trainers do for ourselves?
    Are you ready for that?Moving forward;Offer colleagues space for proper training, courses, and workshops.Proper developmental spaces to further develop, grow and strengthen as anti-racist educators and trainers.See what interest is out there for this offerand the need for writing

  • This episode has efficiency in mind, my guest Hayley Watts helps people solve their problems. The people she works with generally have too much work and not enough time, too many emails, or meetings. In addition, she works with teams to help them have difficult conversations, about strategy, getting people to behave in a way that works and making changes that might feel tough but will bring about better outcomes. She also supports managers early in their career journey.

  • In this episode of SWM, I'm in conversation with Mike McKenzie. We met at a screening of his film Be Longing. Mike shares details of how and why he made the film and gives us some insight into the lives of foster carers who seek to work with social workers and other professionals. Mike, his wife and his family are clearly committed to their roles as foster carers and used his creativity to communicate some important messages to social workers and others. He is really keen on effectively working together in the best interests of children who are looked after. The film is screened monthly online followed by a discussion group, all sorts of issues emerge during the discussion - insightful, stimulating and informative.

    About Mike: Born in London to Jamaican parents Mike is a Foster Carer, Musician, Filmmaker and Music Teacher. He, his wife and his family derive enormous satisfaction from fostering young children. They have experienced some real highs and lows throughout. Mike became a filmmaker in 2007 and set up DrumCamFilms. He went on to undertake various projects in the filming world, including documentaries, short films, training and music videos. He has also completed a number of projects aimed at the educational sector.

    His latest film drama project is a film called “Be-Longing”, which is dedicated to and directed for the foster children they have cared for and had its 1st screening at the Lexi Cinema in Kensal Rise many years ago.

    Be Longing is the story of a young boy aged ten years old who had been placed in care, living in a foster home. His history includes being removed from violent and chaotic birth parents after a series of family breakdowns, he is torn between accepting the trust, kindness and security of his foster family and remaining 'loyal' to his birth parents who he still loves dearly.

    Self-destruction, despair, anger, betrayal, hope and salvation are all themes within this film. The struggle to regain the childhood of this young man who has not yet experienced the innocence of youth is, unfortunately not uncommon for many of today's youth placed in care or living in broken homes. In this short film, Be Longing seeks to show this boy's journey from his very first day 'in care' and charts his progress along the way.

    At present the film is helping to connect with many amazing care experienced people, Artifacts CEP, Comfort Cases, Rajinder.keohane, David L Jackson and Publishing professionals. Mike and his team have taken the film to The Montreal Black Film Festival, and more recently to No.10 Downing Street to meet Gillian Keegan MP, the Secretary of State for Education, and Claire Coutinho MP, the Minister for Children, along with The Fostering Network and other foster carers from across the country. Now as @MAD4Films Mike and the team aim to keep talking about the best outcomes for children and make more films about kids in care.

  • In this episode, I'm in conversation with 3 hardworking and passionate black women; Millie Kerr, Nimal Jude and returning Shantel Thomas. This was an opportunity to discuss and review the conference, its original aims and objectives. Our discussion was lively, frank and open - full of laughter and warmth but no less serious about the 'mission'.

    Millie, Nimal and Shantel were instrumental in organising and leading this event in collaboration with the S.W.E.A.R.N - Social Work Anti-racist Network. The team discussed what went well and the feedback received, they also shared what would have improved the event, namely a budget! Most of the work in bringing this conference to fruition came down to grit, determination and additional work on top of their day jobs.......... we engage in discussion on the need for senior leaders to really get involved, which will require some deep self-reflection on issues of anti-racism and commitment to action and change.

    The team have bigger ambitions for next year and will be working with other colleagues to make it happen, so watch this space - if there is anything you can do to help with the mission an ACTION agenda, please get in touch.

    We also hear about the ARM - Anti-racist Movement, a space for healing. Members of ARM are predominantly Black and Brown women working in the anti-racism space but also include practitioners, educators and leaders. ARM meet every last Friday of the month.

  • David L Jackson is currently gainfully employed as he told me, he is a Senior Planning Engineer. He has done many things and believes we should not allow ourselves to be put in a box. David has also authored a book called 'Oi -Pay Attention. This gets rocky'. Interestingly, paying attention is precisely what he wants Social Workers to do. Dave is care experienced and wrote some of his story as he believes and thinks it is critical that we preserve, document and learn from the past. Dave's book documents life's brutal and harsh reality in statutory care in the '60s and '70s. For the most it was awful; the abuse, his experiences as often the only Black child in the homes and importantly how he survived despite the poor care he received.

    As our conversation progressed, Dave shares some messages for social workers, he pulls no punches and challenges us to become more active in our advocacy for those we work with and care for, and importantly become more vocal in what we see as wrong in our profession and our leadership. He encourages us to not be so 'nice' as this is not how change takes place.

    He covers a range of issues, including racism, sexism, and becoming a father. Dave is an engaging and no-nonsense speaker, so 'pay attention. This gets rocky'.

  • Michael Watson is a professionally qualified social worker, and author of two books, with over thirty-three years of experience working with children and families. His work includes being a Children's Guardian for eighteen years and for over twenty years as an Independent social worker. He is an expert in the family court where he assesses parenting, family relationships and the various needs of children.


    Due to his personal experiences and unique position as a childcare and parenting expert within the family court, he is in a key position to assist, advise, support and coach parents through their private law family proceedings and provide them with the information and skills to represent themselves successfully at court.


    In 2014 he wrote 'How to represent yourself in family court.' The book provides invaluable insight, information, education, support, and guidance to assist parents to navigate their way through the court process. It informs in an honest, open, conversational style, how vital it is for parents to learn the parenting skills they need, not only for court but for the rest of their lives.

    In today’s podcast, we focus on a very painful experience early in his career as the result of a child’s death at the hands of her father. Michael shares how he felt trauma from the child’s death, but also how alone and unsupported he felt as the social worker in the case and having to give evidence being a witness in the hostile conflictual, and adversarial court arena. This experience fuels his work today. He has written a second book titled ‘FAMILY COURT: Giving Evidence In Family Court.’ The book identifies how difficult it is to try to compete with advocates and/lawyers and barristers without receiving a considerable amount of support and training centred on giving evidence and managing cross-examination and focuses on the knowledge, skills, insights, strategies, and tips needed to be perceived as a credible witness.

    Michael can be reached via his LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-watson-87468332/He is the author of ‘In Credible Newsletter’.His podcast In-Credible Witness comes out on 5th April 2023

  • In this episode, Louisa Jean-Pierre shares the painful story of racism she experienced at the work she loved. She tells her professional journey, and how she came to nursing, which she wanted to do from a very young age. Louisa's first qualification was achieved in 1972, and she was able to specialise in paediatrics, an area of nursing she loved.

    Here are some of the challenges she faced, listen as she speaks about how painful this was and the impact upon her professionally and personally, they include; she couldn't be herself, she received no positive feedback from her line manager - just criticism - she experienced a number of disappointing blows, subtle and persistent racism, left feeling deflated and defeated, denied opportunities to progress, unbearable toxic environment, ended up hating coming to work, suffered increasing ill health -anxiety and anxiety attacks, negative impact on her family life, let down by her union and the list goes on.

    She eventually regained some degree of control but what a cost she had to pay along the way.

  • Welcome to ep.65 of SWM, co-facilitators Sandie Chatterton, Sharon Jennings, Jo Williams and I reflect on our working partnerships as Black and White educators in the anti-racist practice and leadership space.

    Apologies for the quality of the audio but hope this does not take away from the essence of our discussions - these critical conversations are unscripted, honest and respectful as we all navigate through this rocky terrain.

    I hope we may keep on having these necessary conversations and remain intentional about action, so we avoid further cycles of rhetoric and collective amnesia in this space - you'll hear references to anti-racism at the end of the 1980s in our discussions, as we wonder what happened to all that work.

  • Counselling Psychologist & Systemic & Family Practitioner Paula St Ange and Trainee Clinical Psychologist Cassia Keziah Maximen join me in this episode to discuss Emotional Emancipation Circles. Aka as EECs are evidence-informed, psychologically sound, culturally grounded, and community-defined self-help support groups designed to help heal, and end, the trauma caused by the root cause of anti-Black racism.

    These two women have been group participants and are now trained as EEC group facilitators. They share how and why these groups were started, the concept is an import from the US which has been adapted to the UK context. In the early evaluations, EEC participants reported notable improvements in their mental health.

    Facilitators have been trained in nearly 50 states in the US, Cuba, South Africa and of course the UK.

  • I met Lyn a couple of years ago in Dominica when I spent time on the Island.

    On my trip late last year, we hired a vehicle from her company. As we waited for the vehicle to be prepared we chatted in her office about life and somehow we got talking about her experiences of domestic violence. I invited her to appear on this podcast and she did not hesitate to agree and stated that she would love other women to learn from her experiences. When I returned to the UK we sought to set up the interview, this interview became more urgent as tragically two women were killed in Dominica due to DV.

    In this interview, Lyn shares a little of what she went through at the hands of her ex-husband, who began with verbal abuse which turned physical. Hers is a story of inner strength driven by her spirituality and strong family connection.

    She shares some of the challenges faced by women in Dominica who seek to escape DV and advice for those who find themselves in this situation. and also

    Lyn says she is sustained by; her faith, her children and her birth family.

    My sincere thanks to Lyn for her honesty and bravery.

  • Sharon and I have a conversation about racism at work. We intend to have Critical Conversations once a month about issues which have come up in the course of our work. This episode and as I suspect may be the case with future conversations, relies heavily upon lived experiences and our honest reflections on some of what we have heard from colleagues, students and mentees and our sense-making of the experiences.

    We begin our discussions by sharing our personal early realisations and experiences of racism. We then go on to share 4 examples from our personal databases – thanks to colleagues Jo Williams and Shabnam Ahmed of the @SchoolofShabs who asked us to share some of what we’ve heard about experiencing racism at work.

    13:00 – Don’t play the race card – ‘not holding onto our own truth………’18:30 – Accents, aggressive black staff – ‘can we not bring expression and passion to our work……..’29:15 – Relationships with line managers, lack of trust - ‘Have you really got my back........'36:35 - Racism from white clients/service users
