Social Work Learning and Links #139

15 September 2024

Introduction

Welcome and welcome back to all. Brief reminder I’ve got a couple of holidays in October that mean it they’ll be no newsletters for a few weeks (13 and 20 October and 3 November). I always welcome feedback, suggestions and comments, so please let me know if there’s anything you want more or less of either in the comments or by replying to this email.

Have a good week (and if you are a Social Worker in England, don’t forget to get your CPD and Social Work England renewal application done in good time!)
