    They will ask you why you want to be a Social Worker........

    You can then talk about what inspired you. There must be something driving you too do it?

    Don't worry overly about what they will ask, it's your qualities they will be looking at.

    Isn't it a bit late to be doing this kind of research? Have a look at your UCAS statement to remind yourself what you said were your reasons for wanting to be a social worker.

    Not sure if you will still be home to read this, but if you are they will be asking you what you think a social work role is, how you feel you have helped someone in the past and about something controversial, e.g. how do you feel about smacking.
    Well thats how mine was anyway, just give as many actual examples in your answers as possible was the advice I was given and now here I am a qualified SW wondering why the hell I ever wanted to to do this for a living - love the clients, HATE the NHS!

    But hey good luck and hope its successful

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
