Based in the United Kingdom, Vicki Shevlin is a qualified social worker and safeguarding specialist who serves as the founder of The Social Work Collective Academy. She implements a distinct Calm → Competence → Confidence methodology designed to support newly qualified social workers during their Assessed and Supported Year in Employment. Her professional resources provide structured guidance on high-stakes tasks, including the Practice Pause Reset series which offers practical mindfulness and regulation tools for frontline staff managing heavy caseloads. Beyond her educational tutorials on the Public Law Outline and court skills, she hosts the Social Work Sorted Podcast, where she facilitates deep dives into ethical practice and systemic challenges. A recent win for her platform is the Seeing the Invisible Child series, which addresses direct work with infants during home visits. Her work effectively bridges the gap between academic theory and the daily realities of child protection through clear, trauma-informed mentorship and professional CPD resources.
