Spending my Saturday morning reading through this research about caseloads in Scotland. Does anyone know if there is equivalent research in England? Caseloads of 15 seems much more manageable #SafeSocialWork #SWCaseloads

Memory is great and all, but have you ever tried experiencing things for the first time, every time, because you forgot you’ve already seen this movie, read this book, dined at this restaurant, visited this country?

What do children in care hear most often? “Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere.” And they quickly learn it isn't true. Teachers change, social workers leave, foster parents aren't able to continue, advocates pop in and out.

It’s unacceptable that over 1 in 4 children in the UK are living in poverty. ❎ BASW is joining with others to challenge this injustice. Read about the campaign, including a powerful call to action from an @EndChildPoverty Youth Ambassador ⬇️ https://t.co/g34BSZdPFi

Well that was incredible. The first of our series of online educational courses focused on ADHD and the input and perspectives of the community just blew my mind.

DID is caused by #trauma so significant that the integrative capacity of the brain is overwhelmed. All of its symptoms make sense, even though they are confusing and distressing. Find out more on our course: https://t.co/Xf3wRa9X4A #DID #dissociation #TherapistsConnect

Listening to Theo Brennan-Hulme’s mother, Esther, on @BBCNorfolk talking about the need for universities should have a legal duty of care to students who are struggling with their mental health to prevent suicide. It is time things changed. #preciouslives 1/

Trauma doesn’t just affect the mind and the emotions. It profoundly affects the brain and the body too. Often ‘the body remembers’ what the mind cannot. Explore the mind-body connection on 'Trauma and the Body' online course: https://t.co/f8u7FM0tLG

We've raised all these issues happening to CCE families. It's not just Herefordshire but a national problem of -ve cultures & mindsets. If we really value families' perspectives & experiences, let's have a panel response/report for all areas. It will illuminate a golden thread.

Timely! As the final (FINAL!) typeset proofs are in! No turning back now! (Shame, as I had an idea, inspired by Joe's video, for another chapter, called 'Reset Reset Reset Radical Reset Reset Radical Reset...')
Check out my brand new video on policy memes in children's services. It's essentially a preview of my chapter "More of Memes than Schemes" featured in the upcoming book: Future of Children's Care (@robin_23_99 & @SWConcern)- link in video description. https://t.co/D4gtXdpjG4

'During the period, Frontline received £679k (2021: £77k) of pro bono consultancy support from The Boston Consulting Group.' That's quite an increase - 900%. What, exactly, is this pro bono support and how does advantage Frontline? https://t.co/wOKbyRUwLw
