Weekly Social Work Links - Issue 70
12th March 2023
Introduction
Welcome and welcome back to new and continuing subscribers. A pre-warning that I will be taking a couple of weeks off after next week so there will be no editions on the 26th March or 1st April but I will be back for an Easter bumper edition.
Please feel free to share with friends, colleagues, neighbours, random people you meet on the bus.
Lots going on for World Social Work Day/Week/Month so look at the last couple of editions for specific links for that.
Always welcome feedback either by replying to the email or through the comments or at @vic15 on Twitter. Have a peaceful and rejuvenating week.
