Social Work Links and Learning #107
January 28 2024
Introduction
Welcome and welcome back to this weeks’ links. Every time I do this, I think about trying to cut down the links but realise that what I find interesting isn’t necessarily what you find interesting but always welcome feedback. I tend to stay away from too many links to mainstream media sources because I assume many will go to sites like Community Care automatically, but if you don’t, do! If there is anything you want to see more or less of let me know by commenting or replying to the email. Do have a look at the many available (60+) events over Social Work Week (link below under events) as I’m never going to be able to list them all but they are all free and all online.
Have a good week
