Social Work Sorted with Vicki Shevlin
Should we still be talking about ACE's? What Social Workers Need to Know
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
ACEs - adverse childhood experiences - is one of the most referenced phrases in social work and safeguarding. But how many of us have actually questioned whether we are using it correctly?
In this episode Vicki Shevlin explores why the research behind ACEs is weaker than most people realise, why correlation is not causation and what this means practically for your assessments, your reports and your conversations with other professionals.
If you have referenced ACEs recently in your practice - this episode is worth your time.
For a full deep dive into the research, the 2020 Foundations review and three practical strategies to update your practice, the extended episode is available on The Social Work Collective Academy on Patreon.
