In the course of my fieldwork placement now, my job scope requires me to be very neutral. I cannot take the stand or rather take side with my clients or other parties. What is needed of me is to be partial and neutral and to present a report of my assessment of the clients and their support system, which allows authority to assess what will be the final outcome of my client.

It has never really occurred to me how neutral I really need to be. The knowledge of being or rather learning to be a social worker needing to be neutral and how this knowledge is now needed in practice is really tough. To add oil to it, the expectation of not just being a social worker but also a need to be of an authoritative figure. I need to learn to juggle when to be what and the thoughts that constantly go through my minds are always, what’s next? Is this right? Ask or not to ask?

Haha.. you must be wondering what on earth am I doing for my placement, but that’s too bad. Ask me if you want to know. Btu well, with all these that I have written, I guess the only person who can really help me is God hahaa.. so dear God please show yourself true and teach me, I don’t want to flop every meeting I have with my client. Thanks :)
