Congratulations @2mircol your vision for SW in education has been in part realised but as you say it needs investment to be truly embedded. Good luck and best wishes for the next chapter which I look forward to hearing about 👏👏.
End of term and school for me @Ed_Authority after 6 years. Worked with many great ple here and @Education_NI it’s been great and a challenge SW in education has so much to contribute but investment needed in welfare services and the policy and leg context needs modernised.
