Social Work Links and Learning #130

7 July 2024

Introduction

Shorter than usual this week because of various real-world distractions. Back to normal next week! It’s also a bit fragmented because pre and post General Election world (in the UK) seem like different places, so I have fewer relevant links this week.

Have a good week and as always, all feedback is welcomed.
