Weekly Social Work Links - Issue #21

Blogs and Articles

Excellent post via NSUN website

A piece from a student social worker about vaccinations.

Anyone who has any overlap with section 117 of the Mental Health Act can find a good update of recent case law here.

Insights, updates and reflections from the Chief Social Worker for Adults and others working in the field

Reports, Policy, Resources

A joint, independent briefing setting out the importance of practice principles integral to safeguarding adults. This is to make sure statutory responses are informed by a consistent person-centred approach.

A refresh/update of resources which I've always used extensively!

Video

This is a great way to access diverse research available, freely. There's a link on YouTube to the open access article but adding the interviews is helpful.

Bit of a plug here for the webinar I did so I've added it as an extra - but check ALL of the Student Connect webinars as there is such an enormous wealth of content on far more interesting topics!

Audio

Loads of great content in this podcast and this episode links to an interview with two student activists to help fire us all up

This is a useful conversation with a researcher about this topic and there's also, on this link to 'Islamic guidance on contemporary practice of adoption and fostering in the UK'

Research

This is a copy of a thesis for a doctorate rather than a published article but it is fantastic and the site is a great place to go to read wide-ranging (free) research in social work. I enjoyed reading this and learnt so much so wanted to share
