Social Work Links and Learning #144
10 November 2024
Introduction
I’m back after a week away - thanks all for your patience while I’ve been absent. Bit of a shorter edition because of the absence but should be up and running as normal from next week.
Thanks to all new and continuing subscribers. A reminder that I am always open to suggestions/comments/feedback - you can reply to the email or leave a comment.
Have a good week and, if you are registered in England, don’t forgot to renew your registration and record your CPD as the deadline (30 November) is getting closer!
