Some parts of Wales have a 30% vacancy rate for jobs as social workers.
She said there were "dark moments" in social work but on the whole it was "really positive".
"Being a social worker is the best thing I've ever done. The positives far outweigh the bad parts of social work. I'm proud to be a social worker." "We need to change the perception of the job and help people understand that it is a fantastic and rewarding career that you can have working with people."
"We've seen what happens even in [child protection] cases when they've had support. We've seen these tragedies when everyone has done everything they can. But when you add the risk of not enough manpower - I dread to think," she said.In 2016-17, 260 students started the social work degree, but that dipped to 202 in 2018 before increasing to 242 in 2020-21, according to Social Care Wales.
Erica Hughes is in her third year of the Social Work BSc in University of South Wales, and as a single mum of three, she said the bursary was not enough. She had to save and work hard to fund her studying.The Welsh government recently announced a £10m package of support for social work students as part of its work to recruit more social workers and first year student Mya Clare is one of those to benefit from it.
