Social Work Links and Learning #132
21st July 2024
Introduction
Just a quick note to say that I won’t be publishing next week as I am going on holiday. First reminder of the calendar year (if you are in England) to start thinking about/planning time to log your CPD for renewals in November. Many thanks to both long-standing and new subscribers. I always welcome feedback and comments. Have a good rest-of-July and I’ll be back in August and enjoy the Olympics (if it’s your thing)
