The Social Work Way

Support that makes your day feel a bit easier.

Social work comes with pressure, long days and a lot of paperwork. It’s easy to feel pulled away from the families you want to support. The Social Work Way gives you clear tools that save time, cut admin and help you stay organised.

I built this as a social worker, because I know how it feels to juggle everything. The app brings together referral tools, direct work ideas, simple recording options, well-being support and quick access to the information you need.

It’s not about big promises. It’s about making your day more manageable, helping you keep on top of things and giving you a bit more space to focus on families.

Thousands of practitioners across the UK use the app already. If you want something practical that fits around real social work, you can download it and see if it helps your day.

Supporting social workers with simple digital tools that make the job easier.

The Social Work Way is here to help you stay organised, cut down on admin and find what you need without the stress. The app brings together tools that fit around real practice so you can spend more time with families and less time on paperwork.
We work with social workers, local authorities and safeguarding teams to make sure the app reflects the real pressures of the job. Everything is shaped by lived experience, clear feedback and what actually helps in day to day work.

Used by social workers across Wales, England and Scotland.

The Social Work Way is used by social workers, students and local authorities across the country. The job looks different in every area, but the pressures are the same. Long days, heavy paperwork and the constant pull away from families.

The app brings together simple tools that help you stay organised, record quicker, manage referrals and use direct work ideas without digging around for documents. You also get well-being support and space to reflect when you need it.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a student, an independent practitioner or part of a large team. The aim is the same. Less admin, less stress and more time with the families you support.

Our Core Values

Meet the Team

Matthew Davies
CEO
With 18 years of experience in social work, I’ve seen first-hand the unique challenges we face every day—balancing high caseloads, navigating complex systems, and often feeling the weight of the emotional toll this work can bring. Throughout my journey, my priority has always been supporting families and making a real difference. But I also saw the need for tools that could make our jobs just a bit easier.
That’s why I created The Social Work Way app. This isn’t a project from a tech entrepreneur; it’s something built by a social worker, for social workers. The app is designed to streamline processes, reduce some of the everyday pressures, and ultimately give social workers more time and energy to focus on what truly matters: the people we support. For me, this is about strengthening our profession and giving back to the community that I’m proud to be a part of.
