Weekly Social Work Links - Issue 89
20th August
Introduction
Moving to quieter months of August so fewer events and publications. I am going to take a break for the bank holiday next week so will see you in September! Thanks to you all for taking the time to subscribe and share. I look forward to a new bumper edition to mark September and wish you a happy end-of-summer - as I head off early to a screening of the World Cup Final!
Awareness Months, Weeks, Days
National Dog Day (Aug 26th) - ok, it’s US based but it’s a great website anyway!
