Especially wishing well to those beginning social work courses...it is a courageous choice to come into the profession and help us improve it from the inside out. Let us know how you get on. 2/ @MelvilleDr @_ACESCW
On 7th May @ 3.30 I’ll be speaking at @uniofedinburgh on the creation of Free Loaves on Fridays - the only mainstream anthology to have a no-rejection policy. If you care about fair, inclusive publishing AND amplifying care-experienced voices this is for you. Links below 👇🏼
The launch of #FreeLoavesOnFridays was a dream. I cried more times than I can count and was reunited with my childhood social worker. Despite decades apart she was just as I remembered. ♥️ Thank you to everyone who made the book possible. ♥️ @RebekahPierre92 @lemnsissay
Our final speakers today are @_ACESCW, @northyorksc, @RichardDevineSW, who are discussing supporting practitioners whose life experience includes social work involvement in their own family lives and the 'use of self' #PartnershipC @researchIP
💫 Happy World Social Work Day! 💫 Today we proudly stand together with social workers across the globe to celebrate #WSWD2024 🌍 A day to acknowledge, recognise & show appreciation for the hard work & dedication of social workers everywhere. Thank you for all you do everyday🙏
💜 It’s #CareDay - the world’s biggest celebration of children and young people with care experience! Join @Become1992 in celebrating and connecting the #CareExperienced community. Find ways to get involved: BecomeCharity.org.uk/Care-Day
The festive period is officially over. I hope all had a lovely break and if not, I hope you can breathe a sigh of relief that this period is over. The new year beckons 🙂.
Happy Christmas to all celebrating. If today is a difficult one, hang in there, it will pass. It is just another day but maybe one day it will be magical too 💕
A friendly reminder we are meeting this evening at 19:00. Come for as long or as short as you like. Link in email sent out 😁
Join the team at The CLA 2 new Project Worker posts Connecting The Invisible Community project working with care leavers over 25 £24,496 - £29,439 Hybrid working home and in office careleavers.com/project-worker…
A reminder that ACESCW have a scheduled meet up tomorrow (Wednesday 26th) at 18:00pm. Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible there. Take Care x
