Weekly Social Work Links - Issue 84

9th July

Introduction

Welcome and Welcome back. Over the summer, there are fewer events/reports so a bit sparser in that area. Interesting conversations about Rosie Jones’ TV programme and I’ve included a couple of articles about that. Please do contact me with any suggestions or interesting things you find - And please share with a colleague/friend!

Thanks for your time and have a good week
