Why it is important for a social care worker to seek feedback on performance

Feedback is a way to receive appreciation for the service we  provide. The only way we can be aware of the quality of our work is by obtaining feedback. It helps one to be more effective on their job. It also helps us to identify our strengths, skills, learning and development needs within our service provision. We can use feedback to identify our learning and development needs to improve our practices. If feedback doesn’t meet our expectation, then we should work on areas, need to improve our practices, and adhere to learning new skills in order to improve quality of service. Hence, we constantly require seeking feedback from service users, relatives, social service, manager, assessor, mentor and other professionals. Without obtaining feedback it will be unknown to us whether services we provide are meeting expectation or not.
