  • Career Transitions: From considering a career with the police to children's social worker

    Career Transitions: From considering a career with the police to children's social worker
    Jul 21 2025
    Senior social worker Faisa Abdirahman initially had her sights set on entering the police after gaining a BSC in criminology.

    However, she pivoted to social work after learning that looked after children were at more risk of being criminalised in the criminal justice system compared to those that are not care experienced.

    In this episode of the Social Work Community Podcast with senior careers editor Kirsty Ayakwah, she explains why her desire to support children and young people, earlier on in that journey resulted in her pivoting away from a career in the police force into social work.

    You can listen to our previous episodes in the Career Transitions Series.

    *According to 2022 data from the Office of National Statistics, more than half (52%) of looked-after children born in the academic year ending 1994 who attended school in England had a criminal conviction by the age of 24 years compared with 13% of children who had not been in care. We’ll leave more details about the ONS statistics in the show notes.
