social work preview of 2026

social work preview of 2026

In this episode of Social Work Radio, Vince and Cara look ahead to what 2026 may hold for social work. Drawing on their experience from the past year, they explore the big themes likely to shape practice in the months ahead - from staffing pressures, cost of living impacts, and inspection changes, to political decisions, regulation, and the narratives surrounding the profession. Together, they reflect on how these forces may show up in everyday practice and what social workers are already beginning to feel on the ground.

The conversation also turns to technology, AI, and how digital tools may realistically affect the job in 2026, balancing the promise of time-saving support against concerns about control and surveillance. Cara and Vince share their personal hopes, fears, and boundaries for the year ahead, before offering a direct message to listeners as they step into 2026.
