Dress For The Knock.......

Beth and George dig into a topic nobody teaches you in school: what to wear as a child welfare worker. Using humorous and raw anecdotes—running from a parent in heels, discovering roach-filled houses, and learning to strip clothes in the garage—they highlight why clothing choices are practice decisions, not style ones. The episode covers footwear for safety, avoiding dangly jewelry or lanyards, handling lice/fleas, keeping spare court clothes, and practical tips for protecting yourself and your home from contaminants after visits. They mix bedside manner with survival hacks and a lot of blunt honesty.
