Supporting the people who support everyone else.

The Gap nobody is talking about

52% of UK social workers intend to leave the profession within 18 months. In children's services, that figure rises to 55%.

79% cite burnout as their biggest challenge. Most of the support that exists requires going through a manager to access it — and that feels too risky. So it goes unused.

Newberyl exists for the moment after the difficult visit. Before the next supervision. Before the resignation letter.

79% cite burnout

Social care professionals carry some of the heaviest emotional loads in any profession. They come back from difficult visits with nowhere to put what they are carrying, not that evening, not in any way that feels safe.
