Learn on the go is the Community Care Inform podcast where practitioners, trainers, consultants, academics and researchers discuss practice, research, and theories and what they mean for social workers. Listening to episodes is a convenient way to learn and refresh your knowledge when you don’t have much time to read or prefer other ways of getting information and reflecting on your practice.

We’ve been recording Learn on the go on an ad hoc basis since 2017. Over these eight years our podcast audience has grown, and in 2025 we made the decision to start recording Learn on the go in seasons. We launched Season 1 Episode 1 in January 2025.

During each season, episodes are released monthly on the last Friday of the month and all episodes appear on Inform Adults and Inform Children or you can subscribe to Learn on the go through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.Copyright Community Care

  • Season 1 Episode 6: Authentic leadership skills - feedback, trust and psychological safety

    Season 1 Episode 6: Authentic leadership skills - feedback, trust and psychological safety
    Jun 27 2025
    This episode focuses on leadership skills and style - in particular the crucial role of feedback which can sometimes be seen as mainly about staff performance and a less comfortable or even fear-inducing aspect of any kind of leadership or supervisory role.

    Our guests today are keen to discuss and demonstrate how feedback is a much broader part of developing your own leadership style and something that can help build trust, transparency and supportive culture in your team or particular context.

    They share examples from their own experience to help practitioners, supervisors and managers at all stages think about developing their own leadership skills and style.

    This epsisode is part of our leadership knowledge and practice hub on CC Inform Children which has been produced with Frontline, that charity that is perhaps most known for its fast-track local-authority based training programme for new child protection social workers, but also runs leadership development programmes for managers and those aspiring to be managers in children’s services.

    The speakers are:
    Anjuli Obaro, curriculum lead at Frontline
    Delin Dixon, independent social worker, experienced foster carer, consultant and trainer
    Yinka Olaniran, service manager for a local authority independent reviewing and child protection conference service, and facilitator

  • Season 1 Episode 4: Dealing with change and loss after becoming disabled as an adult

    Season 1 Episode 4: Dealing with change and loss after becoming disabled as an adult
    Apr 15 2025
    Season 1, episode 4

    This episode focuses on dealing with change and loss as a result of becoming physically disabled as an adult, and how practitioners can support individuals who are coming to terms with the impact of disability on their body and their lives.

    The guest is Rebecca Regler, a lived experience worker. Rebecca qualified as a social worker 10 years ago but didn’t get the chance to put her training into practice because soon after graduating she was diagnosed with the connective tissue disorder Ehlers Danlos syndrome, which left her unable to work.

    Rebecca discusses the emotional impact that can occur from unexpectedly becoming disabled as an adult; how it can affect mental health; the loss of identity, including professional identity and how someone perceives themselves within relationships; the financial implications; and how social care professionals can provide support and advocacy to help adults at such a difficult time.

    Questions are asked by Natalie Valios, senior content editor, Community Care Inform Adults.

    Community Care Inform subscribers can access additional resources and a written transcript of the podcast.
