| Abstract | This article reflects upon the experiences of two perinatal, hospital social workers during the unprecedented time of the Covid-19 in Ireland, as discussed with their academic colleague. This encounter revealed the complexity of service delivery that emerged, when managing the needs of vulnerable clients whilst being mindful of personal safety. One of the social workers was pregnant so was conscious of possible risks to her unborn child, as well as her young family at home. The second social worker, her line manager, discusses the dilemmas associated with the management of risk when allocating staff to contexts where they would be in direct contact with Covid-19. At the core of the analysis of these situations is the notion of liminal space and the realisation that time appears to have a new meaning; what we once knew as normal no longer exists, but we have yet to reach the 'new normal'. |
