The only time you should look down on people is when you’re offering to help them up Here Lee Anderson MP demonises the poor whilst eating meals we subsidise for him, living in a home we heat for him & paying for the journeys he makes Shameless https://t.co/4uocb3QBuz

@CounselTweets The issue I had with that was that it was an entry requirement for the course. I’m happy for it to be an ‘exit’ requirement 😊but not everyone would already have that level of knowledge to begin with

An actual world first! 💯 A Romani social worker and a Traveller social worker teaching social work students about pro-Romani and Traveller social work using a book chapter that they wrote as a world first! Ecoute! @GRTSWAssoc 👏👏👇👇

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something unpleasant after a period of relief.

Watching this certainly reduced my stress levels! It’s the hands! 😍

What a great leaving gift

@CurrieLorraine Good luck! (Whenever I want to name drop to impress, I say I used to work with The Lorraine Currie, which is nearly true and gives me a load of kudos). Three cheers for LC and all she achieved, as WM DOLS Lead for one, but everything else too. Such a MCA Hero!

Family Group Conferencing: The ‘where’ and ‘how’ in Adult Social Care https://t.co/67BtHs2py5 via @SCIE_socialcare FGC for adults are a good thing and there ought to be many more of them available everywhere, in my view. Well done Miranda and Annabelle & your pioneering staff

2/2 1. FGC working across the life course of people and life-situations (Early help to adults) 2. local people, parent activists& young people in the development of FGC 3. FGC as a method practiced in ever-widening circles, growing cultures of respect & quality conversations

For world social work day, a reminder of this “in conversation” with the wonderful @CurrieLorraine about living the MCA in practice:

Please RT & send to your MP People with an intellectual disability should be prioritised for vaccination - The BMJ

And I tried to explain why I was so angry with the receptionist dismissing me & W. And then today I read The photo https://t.co/XWK6L3sGop via @wordpressdotcom Angry and afraid.

Azara Issifu brilliant leader and FGC Coordinator in Camden "I knew she was Ghanian and it just needed a bit of time for my Twi to come back" #AdultFGC

Credit where it is due... The article is about the incredible work by the @CamdenCouncil #AdultFGC team @SeanStephen3 & @mirandajLCSW, our amazing FGC coordinators & @CamdenLDService

Camden excited to share new report today - see thread - on family group conference with Adults. We thought Covid might sweep away strengths-based work. In fact efforts redoubled & relationships made, an article published written by @JamieSpencr and me

Such a beautiful story that goes even deeper than we can include here. Cricket genuinely helped heal a fractured community.
