Social Work Links and Learning #163
6 April 2025
Introduction
Welcome back all - again, thanks for your attention. Very brief this week and wishing a Happy Passover in advance as the Jewish festival starts this weekend. I’ve also been experimenting with LM Notebook and feeding all my weekly links into it and seeing if it can summarise using AI. I’ll update in a few weeks but fear not, I can absolutely assure you everything I write and find here is absolutely me (basically I collect interesting links I come across via various social media channels including X, BlueSky and LinkedIn as well as sometimes, some manual searching). If you find any links you think might be useful/interesting for me to add, please let me know!
Have a great week
